You'll have to explain what a "ResEdit Alias" is. Do you have to set it up
for each application? Is it the application's normal Desktop icon? You could
easily set up a program on the Amiga that implemented drag-and-drop in a
separate window."

ResEdit has nothing to do with this. It's just a program that is being told
to run the application he's dragging on it. Yes, pop-up menus and drag-and-
drop is built in. Open anything with anything else by dragging one thing
on another. Isn't the Mac great? :-)
