I've been since informed via e-mail by someone more technically knowledgeable
than myself (no too hard to do) that once the i/o buffer overflows, the 
download will stop.  I guess I've never held the menu down long enough to see
that behavior.

The name of the INIT is Dragger, and I think you can find it at the Sumex
archives.  It lets you drag windows as a full image of the window, and leaves a
greyed-out version of the window in the original location.  It ain't too snappy
on a Plus, but runs well enough on my SE/30.
