1127 On the X window system, Emacs supports the ``drag and drop''
1128protocol. You can drag a file object from another program, and drop
1129it onto a Dired buffer; this either moves, copies, or creates a link
1130to the file in that directory. Precisely which action is taken is
1131determined by the originating program. Dragging files out of a Dired
1132buffer is currently not supported.
