Also, why can't I drag and drop these spool files over to another file. The copy and paste and drag and drop should work with output spools just as it does with other files.

One other thought, if you do not like the idea of releasing the spool and you want to keep it tightly controlled. Add what we can do to the spool editor.
1. provide line commands - they are there and I can enter them put the routine doesn't do anything with them. Activate them so I can enter delete and the line will be deleted.
2. Most important one is to allow us to click on a Data set name, Highlight it as it is done in the JCL editor. Then allow the option to go and open that data set as I can in the JCL editor. This is actually more important here because I have no symbolics, they are all qualified and listed with exact name. In our JCL editor all DSN are built with symbolics making this option almost useless.
