I downloaded it from the Internet, like a white person or from friends... I don’t argue - on the Amiga The means of communication are well developed, no worse, in any case.

So, _they_ need to sell me equipment - they are interested in me. So I’ll continue to sit on my ass (like a white man), and let them save on advertising, sitting without clientele.

Let me also remind you that you yourself could not answer anything. about d-n-d in admission, except for “climbing in cofig” ;) I found it there, you didn’t you will believe me, despite your reluctance to share such valuable information ;)) In general, this is a separate story. So drag-n-drop in the Amiga way (Addition 4.12) - 1. You can only move _one_ file to the adjacent panel. however, the action what is being done (copying, unpacking...) is configured separately for each extension (it seems that the signature can even be tracked?). 2. you cannot drop a _group_ of files. you can't drop a file on a button, no you can even go to one of the folders shown on the screen. 3. Although you can configure multiple actions, they will be performed differently for a friend, no choice will be given. 4. The file you are going to drag and drop should not be marked. Why? I don't know, some kind of trick, probably :) 5. You need to move the file _strictly_ horizontally! Pixel up/down is equal to the file group mark.6. There are probably other jokes, I don’t know... I never learned to use this function - its benefit is questionable. By the way, about access - there is no key control! Only launch by program hotkeys, execution of batch files and scripts. This is absolutely best :) I understand that the program is from 94, I don’t know what the situation is in clearance 5... AL> Best regards, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.
