Hi Rob, I forgot that you need to change the standalone so that it accepts any file dropped onto it. On MacOS9 you use ResEdit and add FREF resources: - file type "****" (four stars) means you can drop any type onto your application - file type "fold" means you can drop a folder onto your application - file type "disk" means you can drop an disk icon onto your application You will also have to tinker the BNDL resource and add the above types in the 'Type' column. Hint: open DropStuff with ResEdit, so you can see how it handles this sort of thing. On MacOSX you have to change the Info.plist file that is contained in your app bundle -- but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
