I may not understand what you mean, but when I use the "drawer" command, 
the stack animates and slides out exactly like the ones in Apple's 
applications. There is a smooth glide from closed to open.

The "drawer" command slides the stack out. A "hide stack myStack" 
command slides it back in. Once the stack is set to be a drawer, you can 
just use "show stack myStack" to slide it open again.

There doesn't seem to be any need to manually adjust the position of the 
stack as it slides open. The stack also appears "underneath" the main stack.

This is all with version 2.1 beta, of course.
