Under OpenWindows2 and Poplog 14.1 you could drag a file(s) from a filemanger onto a
ved window which would cause pop to open a new ved window for the file(s) you dropped.
[For some reason this does not work with OpenWindows3 and Poplog 14.2 :-(].
The drop cuases a XV_DO_DRAG_LOAD message to be sent to Poplog which then calls
the handler dragLoad.

So now all you have to do is find your Poplog process and send it a
XV_DO_DRAG_LOAD meassage. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this :-(.
