On my machine, ColorWorks won't even load!  If I double-click on the
program object, it opens just fine, but associated files provoke a
"Cannot run ColoWorks, make sure it is an OS/2 ... yadda-yadda"
message.  I just noticed this! :/

Why not write to SPG and request the feature?

What would you propose to drag FROM?  ColorWorks would need a drag
source from which you could d&d to printers.

..it's still a great program. :)
