IBM's Workplace Shell, an enhanced graphical user interface, is being lifted from OfficeVision/2 LAN to be included in OS/2 2.0... The shell offers the capability to trigger processes by dragging and dropping icons on the desktop, such as dropping a file into an electronic wastebasket. Porting that feature to the operating system will let any application take advantage of the interface... <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=fBIEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA51" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/books?id=fBIEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA51</a> <a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li>
