- Just single click the drawer icon that you want to put on the workbench,
- and select 'Leave Out' from the Icons workbench menu, and presto - it's
- there. You can position it as you like, and 'snapshot' it, and it will be
- there even between reboots. One cool thing about this feature, is if the
- drawer you leave ont is on a floppy, and you eject the disk, the left out
- icon goes away, and when the disk is re-inserted the icon comes back!
