I use it to arrange things so that the windows come out where I want them. When you have a bunch of stuff on a hard disk, this can be quite useful, else you end up with a big mishmash of windows scattered all over the place. I don't regularly use the WorkBench, but when I do, I prefer it to be tidy. For deeply nested drawers, I tend to make all of the contained ones open up just inside the top-left corner of the containing one. I also rearrange and resize them for minimum size. -- Chris Gray Myrias Research, Edmonton +1 403 428 1616 {uunet!mnetor,ubc-vision,watmath,vax135}!alberta!myrias!cg
