WebObjects 4.5: Control-Dragging in Windows NT Project Builder

Q: On other platforms, I can control-drag files to sort them in the Project Builder file browser. This doesn't seem to work on Windows NT versions of Project Builder. How can I enable this feature on Windows NT?
A: To enable control-dragging on Windows NT, type the following at a Bourne shell:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSModifierFlagMapping "{LeftControl=Command;RightControl=Control;LeftAlt=Alt;RightAlt=Alt}"

This allows you to use the the right control key (or any key you set to "Control") to control-drag files in Project Builder on Windows NT. You can also set this mapping in the Project Builder domain if you only want it to apply to Project Builder. Using NSGlobalDomain will apply it to all of the current user's applications.
