part names indirectly from LDList via the clipboard.  Pretty neat!
The really nice part for me is you can do everything without touching
the mouse by using ALT-TAB to switch between the two windows.

Next I'll have to see what GLUT does with the X selection buffer.
Also, what's involved in Windows Drag N Drop?

Let me clarify this.  I think I have drag-N-drop from Windows Explorer
under control.  That uses WM_DROPFILES messages and the protocol is
described on the internet.  I'll have to see what I can do when someone
drags a whole list of part files into the LEDIT mode.  I could swear
there was some sort of discussion about that sort of thing a few years
back...

Anyhow, I was wondering what's in those two WM_COPYDATA messages
from LDList.  Is there some reason why LDList uses that instead of
WM_DROPFILES?

Don

This gets me thinking, I wonder what they're using for dragNdrop
on linux these days, or Mac OS-X?
