 Downloaded the file "fw4.pdf" to the clipboard. Inserted the USB stick and
 had the icon appear in the Journal. Selected "add to journal" on the
 clipboard entry's context menu. Then, I went to the journal and tried
 dragging both the entry "Clipboard object; fw4.pdf" and "File fw4.pdf
 downloaded from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf" (in the Journal
 entry list, resuming either of these will open the file). Entries for both
 of these appeared in the USB stick's entry list. However, I was unable to
 properly resume these entries, both when I tried to resume them from the
 USB stick, and when I copied them to the clipboard and then tried to
 resume them. When I opened them directly from the Journal, the Read
 activity started, but didn't load anything. When I copied them to the
 clipboard, they lost their name and icon, and could not be opened. #2475
 explains the latter, but even in that case the files could at least be
 opened directly from the USB stick. It seems as though something's being
 lost when the files are copied to the USB stick.
