Someone did some work on that, it would require tkdnd.  I think  
Miller already the patch in u_main.tk, but you need to have tkdnd  
installed to make it work.   I think it would be great to have a a  
number of these very handy Tcl/Tk extensions included in Pd- 
extended.  That's originally why I set up the 'extensions' section in  
CVS.  Want to take that on?
