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