One big issue with the drag and drop is that it is often not clear which
morph one drop into.
There are so many layers of morphs in a text window so it gets confusing to
know which morph to actually
enable to accepting the drop.

But drag and drop are probably a separate issue from text anchors
constructed from
code. Just don't break it to badly  :-)
