Thanks for all the replies.  I don't know why but dragging now moves and 
using the shift key creates a copy.  I have Alt+mouse key to move 
windows so that sort of moved everything.

I don't get the menu offering choices.  Now that I know what should 
happen, I can experiment.

I didn't think to look in the menu to create a link.  :-[
