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.
