Me too.

Sorry, I would have saved bandwidth by asking the original poster to
forward information, but I can't post to New Zealand.

*fx 162 28 3

I'll listen to reason when it comes out on Compact Disc.

The easiest way (although it is cheating somewhat) is to type
*FX 162,28,3. This enables solid icon drags with shadows.

Nick Smith has written a module to force all application file drags to
use DragAsprite - it's on the Risc User magazine disc this month.

Okay - the multiple answers I receives stated that *FX 162, 28, 3 should do
it.  However, a better way which came from one of the Acorn people was this
small 'proglet':

REM Toggle DragASprite

SYS "OS_Byte", 161, &1c TO ,,byte%
byte% = byte% EOR 2
SYS "OS_Byte", 162, &1c, byte%

In this way, it makes sure that the CMOS RAM check-bits are still okay.

Have fun!

Wow! Fame 8-) I wish I didn't have to admit to writing stuff for RU, but I'm
just a poor student who needs the money ... ;-)

A friend at Churchill (Paul Fidler - praf1@uk.ac.cam.phx) has updated ForceA
Drag to solid sprite drag from almost everything - for instance the filer 
windows ! It isn't 100% reliable, and doesn't run under RO3 currently - perhaps
others would be interested in hacking up somethinmg like this ? It looks so
cool, almost makes me want to go back to RO2 .... 

Nick.
(Only kidding about the RO2 !)
Sorry about the delay in posting this - the news poster thingy was broken ...
