It could probably be done, but not very nicely -- it had a fixed number of
slots. Personally I preferred to use the Applications window to start apps;
the Send To was quite handy for files that you might want to open in several
different apps (e.g. a .C file might be opened in either a text editor or
run through a compiler at different times).

Originally I think I probably pinched some of that from either ViewMAX/3 or
possibly the AES (I forget exactly how the AES determines the list of drives
to show at the top level of the item selector). I later extended it
slightly to talk to MSCDEX so it could recognise CD-ROM drives as such
rather than generic network drives.
