+protocol.  You can drag a file object from another program, and drop
+it onto a Dired buffer; this either moves, copies, or creates a link
+to the file in that directory.  Precisely which action is taken is
+determined by the originating program.  Dragging files out of a Dired
+buffer is currently not supported.
