Well Cocoa has NSTableView and NSOutlineView, both of which have 
messages for performing drag-n-drop of 1 or more rows within the 
control, or to the pasteboard for destinations outside the control.

But that's very specific to Objective-C and Cocoa. Don't know what it 
is for Carbon, and not sure how they would map onto Rev's API either. 
The Cocoa controls are likely quite different from the Win32 
table-outline view equivalent, or the GTK one, or the Qt-KDE one, or 
the Mac Toolkit one, Powerplant one, etc. etc.

Like most of my posts, just some random observations... :-)
