Actually the temp area would only have to store a reference to the 
locations of the files that are dragged to it (very much like symbolic 
links). This could easily be stored in memory, and the only physical files 
transfer would occur when transferring from the temp to another location. 
An alternative is the "script" your file transfers graphically or 
otherwise, and then only have the actual physical transfers happening when 
you click "go" (argh!) or whatever you want. TO me this sounds like a good 
idea...
