I cannot drag & drop an element, e.g., a variable or a statement or any
piece of code fragment around. Both Help and Google don't help me. I
have to continue using cut & paste which is much less convenient. Anybody
can help. Many thanks in advance!

Eclipse uses the drag-to-move gesture many places; text is an exception.
Drag-and-drop as well as copy and paste commands need to be added to
WTP's outline view, to function like JDT's class outline view. Lack of
these features is an irritating inconsistency in WTP.

I suspect that my inital response didn't read well; upon re-reading, I'd tend to agree. Dragging and dropping of selected text isn't available in any of the released Eclipse builds (though it may be available in the future, I don't know). My response was more an indication that there isn't a magic setting to turn it on in Eclipse 3.1, because that functionality doesn't exist.
There are less-powerful editors that do have that functionaity if that's needed.

Alex,
Thanks, this is exactly answer I expect to read and is much more friendly
than the previous answer which made me think I came to a wrong place. If
there is no setting available to turn drag-drop on in Eclipse, I will not
bother to dig it out anymore rather than just wait for new release.
Thanks,
Ping

In the XML outline view, you can drag and drop elements to essentially cut
and paste.
You can also ctrl+drag and drop elements to essentially copy and paste.

We do have something of a drag-to-move function in our xml outline views (I
only qualify with 'something of' because the resulting souce format is not
as expected).
But ... is there a bug open for WTP's lack of copy/paste in outline veiw?
I could not find one (and will confess, was not aware of this
inconsistenccy).
Thnaks,
