  We study nonlocal bright solitons subject to external spatially nonuniform
potentials. If the potential is slowly varying on the soliton scale, we derive
analytical soliton solutions behaving like Newtonian particles. If the
potential has the form of an attractive delta-like point defect, we identify
different dynamical regimes, defined by the relative strength of the
nonlocality and the point defect. In these regimes, the soliton can be trapped
at the defect's location, via a nonlinear resonance with a defect mode -- which
is found analytically -- reflected by or transmitted through the defect,
featuring a wave behavior. Our analytical predictions are corroborated by
results of direct numerical simulations.
