Check your LIBPATH and the working directory on the P.R.O.

All applications in OS/2 have a drag source - it's called the 
Workplace Shell. All SPG have to do is provide an ASSOCTABLE, subclass
WPDataFile and override the WPPrintObject method. Then you'd be able 
to pick up any associated files in a folder and d&d on a printer.
