What you are getting are hyperlinks that point to files in the Finder. You can now copy any folder or file in Finder and paste it into NWP. This enables you, for example, to play music directly from within NWP. A single click on the link in NWP will open the file in the default application, and if that application has been minimized, you can play one song after the other without ever having to see and be disturbed by the default application. Quite cool!

If you want to paste a *vertical* list, you must paste *Paste Text Only* (Shift+Command+V). If you want the list to be numbered, then choose "Number List" from the List pane first (or do it afterwards, that doesn’t make any difference).
