If I've learnt anything from watching the list over the years, it's that somebody will have a need to replace existing drawers, so be prepared for that :-) That said, I can't think of any reason why adding to existing drawers, instead of replacing them, would lead to problems. So I'm inclined to agree with you. One question that might arise: are multiple #+DRAWERS lines legal? and if so, what do they do? I'll try to take the patch for a spin but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it. Thanks, Nick
