Thanks for the reference, Howard.

The first version of this script Howard refers to was produced with help 
from Scott Raney (the creator of Metacard).

Following a similar discussion in February (subject. "Drag 
from-within-to fields") I had added a sample stack to my website 
containing 6 different solutions of the drag-drop-lines question, 
including one example that presents a slightly modified version of Scott 
Rossi's stack (hope he has agreed to my modification as an alternative 
to his excellent solution).

The sample stack can be directly downloaded from here

<http://www.sanke.org/Software/DragWithListfields.zip>

or from page "Tools and Samples for Development" of 
<www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>

The scripts can most certainly - as usual - be improved, refined, and 
extended, but they may at least show directions how to tackle some 
problems coming up when you wish to visibly (not just with a drag 
cursor) drag between or inside controls whose locktext is set to true.
