It is *very* difficult to know how -people will read what you write. I've
been writing tech docs for 40 years!

When someone misreads what I intended, I look at it afresh and usually
re-word it. Dis-ambiguationm often.

I took your "Dragging a script here applies it to a document" to mean
exactly that. So thought things had gone wrong when nothing happened!

I see where you are comming from, and English is not your first language!

Maybe, as a programmer, a straight drag should open a menu box: Next
action:
