Glidel is a system extension that extends the Finder's drag-and-drop abilities within System 7 and later. You can select any file, folder or volume icons (this is called a selection), and drag it to:
* The Open, Print, Get Info, Sharing..., Duplicate, Make Alias, Put Away options (Reveal Original starting with system 7.5) on the File menu;
* Any application or folder in the Apple menu, including those accessible via a third-party hierarchical menu utility such as BeHierarchic, NowMenus, Apple Menu Options, or OtherMenu;
* Any currently running application, via the Application menu on the right-hand side of the menu bar.
The Glidel folder contains the following items, alphabetically sorted:
- the Glidel file;
- the Glidel form file;
- the Glidel help folder;
- the Read me file;
- the Register Glidel file;
- the Revision history file.
Instructions can be found in the Glidel help file located in the Glidel help folder. The file can be double clicked, starting with MacOS 8.6, or it can be read using a HTML viewer such as Netscape Communicatorｪ or equivalent.
