Well, this isn't an announcement, but more of a "rumor mill" type comment...
Yesterday I purchased the game "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego" (which
is a pretty good game BTW - at least the kids thought so!).  It comes with a
card titled "Last Minute Elusive Facts about the Elusive Carmen Sandiego",
which is essentially an update to the hard disk installation procedure which
was in the manual.  Anyway, there's an interesting couple of statements,
which I'll quote without permission:

"Turn on your computer and hard disk.  Double-click the icon for your hard
disk to open the hard disk window.  Create a new drawer by choosing *New
Drawer* from the *Workbench* (tm) menu.  Rename the drawer *Carmen World*..."

(note: the *'s denote bold text in the original instructions, and are not my
emphasis)

The key item in the above narrative is the "New Drawer" Workbench menu
command.  Perhaps the folks at Broderbund have had a peek at 1.4?
