       On my SUN Work Station, I am trying to write an  application
       which  uses  the  "Drag  and Drop" mechanism.  Following the
       example  in  "XView  Programming  Manual"  by   O'Rielly   &
       Associates,  I  could  read the file name when the icon of a
       file was "dropped."  However, I want  to  be  able  to  read
       multiple  file names when a group of selected file icons are
       "dropped."  I searched all available  X  Window  programming
       references,  but  could not find a way to read multiple file
       names.

       Is it impossible in  X  Window  programming  to  do  what  I
       described above?  If it can be done, please inform me of the
       reference source.  An illustrative example would be perfect.
       Thanks.
