|You can drag files from different folders onto the desktop, group select them,
|and select "Open" or "Print."  When you return to the Finder, you can use the
|"Put away" command to stuff them back in their folders.  Not exactly what you
|want, but close. 

Alternatively, if you have the MPW shell, you can type things like

	resedit foo ::bar disk:dir:yafile

or, to print

	macwrite -p this :that:theOther
