Interesting. It feels like direct manipulation to me. I am using it all the time in math. Discovered it by accident but grasped it straightaway, and now it is second nature. Delete the whole by trying to delete a part, or 'handle'. Apparently direct manipulation is in the eye of the beholder. The behavour of 'dragging handles' isn't always obvious either. - Martin
