My mom is relatively new to SL.  (Meaning that she's had an account
for a while, been doing things for a while, but still sees through the
eyes of a new user.  Unlike myself...)

Well, she was recently instructed by my dad (an advanced user like
myself) to send him a notecard she was editing.  She asked how.  My
dad instructed her to "drag it to the IM window."  This she knew how
to find.  She then complained that it didn't work.  This brought me to
look at what she was doing.  She was trying to drag the notecard edit
window onto the chat popup to send him the notecard.

Because of this, I would like to put forth the suggestion for further
study of allowing the user to drag asset windows (notecards, textures,
etc.) onto the varied existing ways of sending content. (IMs, Profile
pages, etc)

The main counter I can think of for this is that sending inventory
accidentally would become more prevalent.  There are ways to solve
that, but shows that the above solution may not be optimal.
Suggestions?
