OK, I see, changed it to
...
set the dragdata["private"] to "A private string"
put the dragdata["private"]
## puts the correct string!

So far, so good...

Aha, but after I changed this (again) to the most obvious (which was  
my first try):

Script of "d_target":
on dragdrop
   set the hilite of me to false
   put the dragdata["private"]
   ## Nothing gets put?!
end dragdrop

And exactly that is my problem :-)
