	Grab the source to HTMLEdit  
(http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/HTMLEdit)
	
	There is a special pasteboard type available, (its documented in the  
source in the 2nd and 3rd article in the series).
	
	My HTTextView does just what you need, and is included in the  
article series in two versions.  The first uses the conventional drag and  
drop APIs and the second uses the whizzy new Text Drag and Drop APIs that  
make things easier.
