As far as I can tell, it is not possible to make a really effective
simulation on Windows of the MacOS X 'drawer' behaviour using transcript.
The essential aspect is that the 'drawer' window is always at the same level
in the window stack as its parent, and always moves attached to it.

Have a look at my sample stack "Drawers" of August 2003 at
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia> page "Samples and Tools".
The stack was uploaded again (originally to my FTP-site and later transferred) following discussions on the Metacard list in February 2004.
The stack does *not* use the new drawer command, therefore the examples could be implemented on any platform and also with older versions of Metacard or Revolution.
Two approaches are illustrated
- changing the stack size - and even here achieving a real sliding-drawer effect
- using substacks or other stacks
Modifying the examples - that use substacks - you can create any reasonable number of drawers at any point of the four sides of the base stack that slide out in any direction, i.e. also diagonally.
If you wish, you could also go to another card of the drawer stack before it is displayed ( There was a request or a question about this on the list).
No "resize"-problems occur as they were reported for the new drawer command on MacOS X
