Hello All I'm sorry if the answer to this question is well known. What I'd like to be able to do is drag a selected text block from a drag and drop-aware application to a macperl droplet, and have the droplet treat the text as a quoted command line argument. If I can manage this it will improve my quality of life immeasurably. Thanks in advance for anyone who can point me to the answer.
