I have just looked into the Terminal sources. There I find

        [self registerForDraggedTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                NSFilenamesPboardType,NSStringPboardType,nil]];

It should work. I am able to drag from my application to TextEdit.app. 
But Terminal.app still refuses to accept the drag operation. I have put 
a log in

-(BOOL) performDragOperation: (id<NSDraggingInfo>)sender
{
}

in the terminal sources, but this method is never called when I drag to 
a Terminal.app window!?

Any ideas?

Could anyone who has Terminal.app running on Solaris send me his 
Terminal.app sources?

Thanks!
