SUMMARY: The File Manager in OpenWindows lost a file during a drag
and drop to a directory to which the user did not have
permission to write.
SOLUTIONS:
1. This is a particularly nasty bug in filemanager, fixed by the file
manager jumbo patch, 100462-29. This patch also requires a classing
engine patch (100524 and xview patch 100452).

2. To recover files, run fsck and then look under lost&found. Your
files will be there under a numbered directory.

3. I think file mangler renames the file with a leading double dots
(..) in the original directory.

4. Sometimes the file(s) get put into the PC, bin or wastebasket areas.
