Thanks Wilhelm and Scott. I've recrafted the effect I want using
revChangeWindowSize, and it works nicely. I've never liked drawers
very much, to tell the truth, but for this one application the idea
of them is right. I think it is better implemented with the built-in
routines, though, and now I don't have to monkey with anything for
the Windows version.
I looked at your stack yesterday after coming across it in Gmane,
Wilhelm. Nice work. I've saved the stack for future reference.

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.)

Those interested in creating their own drawer routines - without
using the drawer commands - might have a look at my drawer stack
from 2003
<http://www.sanke.org/Software/Drawers.zip>.
It contains both such resize routines which Scott recommends in his
post qoted above and the sliding out of substacks from any point
and any side of a mainstack - even in diagonal directions.
All these routines can be used also with older versions of Metacard
and Revolution from before the introduction of the drawer commands.
Regards,
Wilhelm Sanke
