Yesterday I posted a question to the list and I received several replies. There seemed to be some confusion as to what the true nature of the question I was asking. This is an excerpt of my original post. "I need to be able to drag a file or folder onto my application window and retrieve the Name and vRefNum of the file/folder. Folders are the most important ones to be dragged. The window is a standard FB doc window." This question (in my mind) is clear, concise and unambiguous. I fail to see why anyone could not understand this. Jonathan replied that my question was unclear. While he is correct I am unclear on the technologies which is precisely why I posted the question in the first place, I still maintain my question was clear and valid. He then offered information on dragging FILES to my application Icon. I never came close to asking this. Another excerpt "I've played with the finderInfo command and even put in a file type of "fldr" and "****" and "????" but none of these work. I've also set the SIZE resource to be High Level events aware." This should have given the clue that I have tried this approach and it did not work! Charlie also responded with using his Drag & Go utility. While his application is wonderful it does not accept folders dragged to the application icon nor files or folders dragged to the application window which is what I was asking. Alain seemed to ferret out my question but even he seemed to be not too confident with what my question actually was. He provided the link <http://euro.futurebasic.com/download/FutureJukebox.sea.hqx> which is either a typo or the file is nonexistent. Answers to questions not asked or misinformation passed on as answers are much worse that poorly stated questions. We have extremely intelligent people on the List and I find it hard to understand why all can't translate moron to English. Maybe Heather should consider this as the language she should take but this is probably a life-long study. An old carpenters axiom is 'measure twice and cut once"... I'd like to paraphrase this as an axiom for the List 'read twice and answer once'. Waiting for the flak.
