I can't reproduce that behaviour. I do seem to remember that a problem 
like this occured with an early development version before any of our 
final Windows releases. I don't remember the exact details, but there 
was an extra file installed in a location that caused sword to not work 
right with book languages.  If you installed an early version like that, 
I encourage you to delete your c:\Program Files\BibleTime directory and 
reinstall BibleTime.

I agree this would be the desired behavior. I am not sure that it will 
be easy to get it to do this.

When I drag a reference down from the last bookmark in a folder, I see 
the arrow indented to the level of the last bookmark. If I release then, 
the bookmark will go into the folder. If I move slightly further down 
the arrow moves left indicating that the bookmark will be put outside 
that folder. I think it is working correctly.

I have seen one other cross platform program that did this. Most do the 
Ctrl-drag for copy. It may be unexpected, but it is obvious what it is 
doing. If you did not know about Ctrl-drag, you would probably never 
discover it. I would like opinions from others about this.
