Troy, if I may ask, what on earth are you talking about? The Carbon 
API provides as full access to drawers as the Cocoa API does. Carbon 
may have started out as the red-headed stepchild of OS X, but it's 
had full parity with Cocoa for at least three years now, by policy. 
The drawers in Revolution are as "real" as the drawers in any other 
OS X application.
