Dragging and dropping doesn't work when an IB(and probably most other
apps) is run on one machine and displayed on another using -NXHost.
For example, I can't drag an Icon into the Icon's suitcase, and I
can't drag a new class in to be parsed.  Is this a bug or hasn't NeXT
gotten around to implementing it?

Also, is there an environment variable that I can set so I don't have
to type -NXHost all of the time?  In other words, I want a NeXTStep
equivalent for X Window's DISPLAY environment variable.
