Drag and Drop to Item in List Field

[Bill Vlahos]

Getting closer now.

If I put the following script in the source list field the correct text is sent in the drag.
on mouseDown
   set the dragData["text"] to the selectedText
end mouseDown

Target field script hilites the correct line in the list
on dragMove
  set the hilitedLines of me to (word 2 of the mouseLine)
end dragMove

However, if I also put this script in the target field script nothing happens:
on dragDrop
   put the dragData["text"]
   pass dragDrop
end dragDrop

What I need is the dragged text and the target field line. I believe I can only get that from the target field not the source field but I can't figure out how.
