Larry,

Finally! Something to hold out as an advantage of the console over RXVT!

Actually, on my system, dropping on RXVT from Windows Explorer, whether 
file or directory, with or without spaces, nothing happens at all.

It all works fine in a character ("console") window. It works there 
even with "QuickEdit" mode turned off.

Randy
