  Now, I'm getting curious that why you think it granted that dragging
and dropping does the exact right thing^^;

  What Microsoft Windows applications can do is not always what Squeak
can do (and vice versa).  Squeak trys to be "platform-independent"; it
has its advantage, but the indic scripts are not supported by today's
Squeak by any sense.

  There is a lot to do (i.e. write code) to make it work.  Sorry about
that.

  By the way, Is Mr. Prabhakar Katlakunta and you working with you?
If not, he just sent around pretty much the same question a few days
ago.  To strengthen the Squeak community network in Indea, it would be
a good thing for both of you to communicate with each other.
