Hello Ray

Good question...
while I am tested the hotlist/bookmarkmanager v0.2 that I wrote I had this idea.
Please check the import-function and you will get an idea what I
mean.(please do not misunderstand this a advertising please)

We could have a simple file-manager inside arachne. Maybe you think that is
a stupid idea because it is simple to change to an external filemanager
but actualy we have something like that already but not very
comfortable. I mean the 'URL:file:*.*' function of arachne.But this
allows actualy only to delete one marked file.
I could mark more than one file and move/del/etc. them easy without leaving
arachne to an other application ( like norton-commander or dos-navigator).
Actualy I can use the 'clip.tmp' for fileoperations with  *.dgi's

I checked the following too:

but it would be more easy and comfortable to use ctrl and right/left mouse.

I hope you understand what I mean. If something is not clear -please ask
again. I will try to explain.
