For now `mouse-drag-and-drop-region' does nothing when
(event-end (read-event)) is toward out of the current frame.

I think the first step is to revise `mouse-drag-and-drop-region' to let
it drag text to a different frame.

​So I have fixed that as you can see in my prior message.  Now what must be done to allow Emacs to drop the text onto another Mac application that accepts dropped text?
