More specifically, cut/copy and paste take an object (file, mail message, etc.) and stick it into a holding place - namely, the clipboard. Then Paste takes it from the clipboard and puts it where you are wanting to paste it. Dragging and dropping done with the VO-comma and VO-period moves an object around on the screen - presumably from one window to another but as I understand this part, both the source and destination have to be visable. In other words, maybe you are wanting to reorange the icons on a desktop or something. If you're copying or moving files from one folder to another, then I would think the copy/paste route would be the only way to go. I personally have hardly ever used drag and drop in windows or on a mac but I have used it a bit on IOS and that was a cool experience.
