Duplicating Drawers
To duplicate a drawer, select the icon for the drawer, then choose Duplicate
from
the Workbench menu. A new drawer, whose name is "copy of" added
to the name of the drawer that was duplicated, appears in the window.
To create a new drawer, you duplicate another drawer. The quickest way is
to duplicate the empty drawer that appears on the Workbench, then give the
new drawer a new name.
Renaming Drawers
To rename a drawer, select the icon for the drawer, then choose Rename
from the Workbench menu. A message then appears asking you for a new
name. Select the window that appears, type in a name, then press the
RETURN key.
Discarding Drawers
To discard a drawer, drag the icon for the drawer over the Trashcan icon.
Putting a drawer in
the Trashcan does not free disk space until you select the
Trashcan icon, then choose Empty Trash from the Disk menu.
You can also discard a drawer by selecting the icon for the drawer, choosing
Discard from
the Workbench menu, then selecting Retry in the requester that
appears. WARNING: When you choose Discard to discard a drawer, you
cannot get the drawer back.
Special Drawers: Disks and the Trashcan
Disks and the Trashcan are special kinds of drawers. Disks differ from other
drawers in these ways:
• You
cannot discard a disk by dragging its icon over the Trashcan
icon.
• You
cannot move a disk into another drawer.
