Drag-n-Drop Use Cases - Corrected

Hi;

I accidently sent an earlier draft. The below includes a couple 
additonal use cases. I sent this as a strawman list of uses that 
may well be incomplete.

Appologies for any confusion this causes

		D-n-D Use Cases

An object includes selected/highlighted text, graphics, etc.

These use cases are meant to hilite all that occurs from a 
mouse-only d-n-d perspective, taking you from the initial object 
selection to completion of the action. The following are d-n-d 
operations that should be possible from the keyboard when it is 
being used for d-n-d operations.

1. select, grab, move, and deposit an object to other 
directory/area[s]
2. select, grab, move, and deposit an object to someplace else in 
the current directory/area[s]
3. select, grab, move, and deposit multiple object to other 
directory/areas]
4. select, copy, grab, move, and paste an object to other 
directory/area[s]
5. select, copy, and paste an object to the same directory/area
6. select, copy, grab, move, and paste multiple objects to 
another directory/area
7. select, copy, and paste multiple objects to the same 
directory/area
8. select multiple contiguos objects
9. select discontiguos objects
10. select an object and copy it to the system clipboard
11. Cancel the Move or Copy d-n-d operation
12. visually, a d-n-d operation needs the appropriate Copy or 
Move pointer to be swapped in
	= must include a "not permitted" pointer for illegal copies and 
Moves.
