Please send your patch to emacs-devel@gnu.org so people can give you feedback (as you might have noticed, there is a fair bit of convention in the C code, and since you're not familiar with it, you probably missed some of it). > gotten the dragging and dropping to work, but now I have to put some > meat in the function that gets called.

Maybe it's worthwhile to look at how drag&drop is handled in the W32 part of the code. The two should hopefully provide a similar functionality to elisp so that the rest of the code can be the same for all OSes. Stefan
