John,

The drop-into-a-project currently sends a copy to the other project (or to another user if the drop target is an EToySenderMorph). Two choices you have:

- delete the morphs that remained in the original project (after verifying they made it to the receiving project).
- use a global flap as the transfer mechanism. Simply put things into the flap in one project and take them out in the other project.

Cheers,
Bob
