#### draw-arrow.lisp
Defines the draw-arrow function. Created from seth@aic.hrl.hac.com's source.

#### f-pt-in-scroll.lisp
Defines f-pt-in-scroll, a handy addition to sequence-dialog-items and
fred-windows. Thanks to holz@urz.unibas.ch (Dieter Holz) for help with
the fred-window version.

#### get-input-of-type.lisp
Defines the get-input-of-type function.

#### object-FDI-drop-glue.lisp
Tell object-fred-dialog-items how to start drops. Since
object-fred-dialog-item is a subclass of fred-dialog-item they already know
how to receive drops via the code at the bottom of
object-fred-dialog-item.lisp .

#### object-FDI-mouse-copy-glue.lisp
Defines functions to make the "MOUSE-COPY" example do links.

#### outline-window.lisp
Defines a Finder-like hierarchy display. Outline-window instances display
hierarchies.

#### sound-scrap.lisp
Created from Apple's Pict-Scrap.Lisp, defines a scrap-handler for scraps of
type :|snd | .

#### when-strings.lisp
Defines functions for decoding when-strings, which are strings encoding
possibly repeating times and dates.
