Mark,
I feel your pain... drawers can be a frustration. Did I mention that
they stopped working below OSX 10.4 after rev 2.6.1 : )
Several experienced folks on this list suggest that in many cases it
might be wiser to resize the window (see: revChangeWindowSize) with
some graphics added in order to simulate a drawer. (This works quite
well as long as the drawer is on the bottom or the right.)And while
this is of course necessary for achieving a universally similar
effect across platforms, it seems unfortunate to lose such an
elegant "native" solution in OSX.

Scott,
Thanks, "IN" did the trick. The docs show either "of" or "in" as
possibilities, now that I look closer, but "of" doesn't work in my
case. Hopefully that will be corrected in a future edit. Also odd
is the fact that the command ran, but improperly, showing the
drawer connected to the wrong window, and on the wrong side of the
window.

Syntax:
drawer stack {[at] left | bottom | right} [{of | in} parentStack]
[aligned [to] {left | right | top | bottom | center}]
Summary:
Displays a stack as a drawer of another stack.
Examples:
drawer stack "Recent Transactions" at right
drawer stack "Tips" at left of stack "Main" aligned to top
drawer me at bottom aligned to left
drawer stack "Help List" at right of this stack
drawer stack "Connections" at right aligned to center

Mark,
Try using the word "in" rather than "of"
drawer stack "AnimalList" at right in stack "IGI"
(note: drawers are broken in 2.8.1 if you run on OSX versions
before 10.4)

I want a drawer stack to appear to the right of my main stack, IGI.
Main Stack = IGI
Substack = Guess
Substack = AnimalList
Script of button on substack "Guess" reads:
on mouseUp
drawer stack "Animallist" at right of stack "IGI"
end mouseUp
But:
The drawer stack only slides out of the substack "Guess," not the
main stack "IGI" (and on the left, I might add).
What is wrong with my command?
Thanks,
