i mean, this story sounds like it's from pre-release testing, or maybe a trade show demo showing a pre-release build. it not working this way in the release version just makes sense, and doesn't mean this is a fake story.

No such demo happened. They unveiled the 128K with that System 1.0 on stage at a special event. The Lisa has a different UI, but also can't do what's described.

That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means that the demo wasn't public.
