What am I missing here? I am running rev 2.8.1. I didn't know how to use drawers (in fact, didn't know exactly what was meant by a drawer). So I did what (I hope) anyone would do, I used the rev documentation (and I had downloaded the latest version of the docs a week ago). It clearly says, and I quote, no, copy and paste:

Cross-platform note: On Mac OS, Unix, and Windows systems, drawers are not supported, so the drawercommand opens the stack as a palette instead. The palette uses the current rectangle of the stack and does not resize or move it.

?????????????????????????????????????

I find a lot more than that. Have you seen drawers in action? They're truly an OS X-specific feature. The old Mac OS (v9 and earlier) didn't support them, and neither Windows nor Linux nor Unix support them.

The docs seem in order here to me - what am I missing?

If you're not familiar with drawers, you probably don't need them. While Steve Jobs likes to give demos with them, they really don't provide much that isn't already provided with a disclosure triangle, which Apple continues to also recommend:
