Usage

=========================================================================

To add new names via DragNDrop Names into the Names soup, you simply drag

text onto the Names application. The text must be of the following

format:



DragNDrop Names syntax is:



        [<Name>]                \  Note 1

        [<Company>]             /

        [<telephone> | <email>]*

        [<street1>]             \

        [<street2>]             |

        [<city>]                 > Note 2

        [<state> <zipcode>]     |

        [<country>]             /

        [<telephone> | <email>]*



Note 1: Either a name, company, or both may be specified



Note 2: Elements of an address may be combined onto the same line, and

separated by commas.  E.g. "Newton, MA 02165" has <city> and <state> <zipcode>

elements.



A <Name> is tested for the more common honorifics: Mr., Ms., Miss, Mrs.,

Dr., Rev.



Any line that begins with "Co:" is considered to be a <Company>.

Additionally, any line that ends with "Inc.", "Co.", or "Ltd." will be

considered a <Company>.



Any line with an "at-sign" ("@") is identified as an email address.



A telephone number may be prefixed by "h", "w", "home", "work", "fax", or

"car", with an optional colon, to identify the number in the new card.



Any other lines that aren't identified as something else are collected

together and added as a note to the new card.



After dragging text onto Names, DragNDrop Names will automatically create

a new name to add into your Names soup!
