Either the latest issue of PC Magazine or the previous issue had an article
in User to User which described how to implement "drag & drop" in the file
manager.  The main purpose was to be able to view documentation of the form
"readme" or "read.me" or "docs.man".  You'd go crazy trying to associate all
of these with notepad or another reader.  Now I can just click on a file of
interest and drag it over to one of three viewers I have permanently visable
in file manager (notepad, write & microemacs) and drop it on top.  Moments
later the selected app appears showing the file.  I don't know if the print
manager will allow you to do this or not, but it's worth a try.
