>   The simplest way of thinking about a <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Drawer</SPAN
>
   is that it is a  container to store things.  Typically one may use
   a Drawer to hold multiple launchers which are related to each other
   in some way, such as the various applications in GNOME Office. The
   Drawers in the GNOME <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
> take this one
   step further by making a Drawer an actual extension of the
   <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
> itself.  Thus, a Drawer is a
   collapsible branch of an existing <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
>.  It
   can contain anything  that a <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
> can,
   including launchers, applets, and other Drawers.

>   Once you have placed a Drawer on the <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
>,
   you may click on it to "open" the Drawer, revealing its contents.
   You may then add items to the Drawer in the same way you would add
   items to the panel, right clicking on the end of the drawer with
   the arrow.  You can close the Drawer by clicking on its icon again
   or by clicking on the arrow at its end.
  </P

>   You can configure a Drawer's properties by right clicking on the
   Drawer's icon and selecting
   <B
CLASS="GUIMENUITEM"
>Properties</B
>. This brings up the
   <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Drawer Properties</SPAN
> dialog. Here you can
   select the icon used for the drawer by clicking on the icon. A
   tooltip may be entered by typing in the
   <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Tooltip/Name</B
></TT
> entry. This tooltip will be
   displayed whenever the mouse is moved over the Drawer to remind you
   what is inside.  One may also select whether the <B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>hide
   button</B
> and arrow are displayed at the end of the drawer.
