Not exactly sure what you need.
If I hilite some text in a normal (not a list) field, I can drag it to the desktop and it appears there as a clipping (Mac OS). Not sure if this is useful to you, but you need no code. If you have a list field, you cannot drag and drop at all (I think).

Hi lestroso,
this will work with a list field with pathnames (e.g. "/Users/klaus/Desktop/Bilder Net/cd.gif" in my test) in it.
Script of list field:
Code: Select all
on dragstart
set the dragdata["files"] to (the selectedtext of me)
end dragstart
You get the picture
Best
Klaus
