Thanks for the suggestion.  I was using Matthew Cornell's drag-&-drop stuff
but it had an obscure bug in it which was driving me crazy.  And, it didn't
allow dragging w/in a view.  So I thought I would try using the drag
manager for robustness and also for the "fun" of understanding it.  But,
your advice sounds sensible.  I'll look again at the oodles-of-utils stuff
(some of which I use already) and at Oliver Steele's D&D.
