Dang!  That does not work either!!!  This is such a common interface 
that I would think that something could be done???  All I want to do is 
drag a content title to different folders and yet be able to click on 
that title to view it's content.  There has got to be a way to do this.

Thanks very much for any other suggestions.

Cheers, Roger
