Good find. That led me to another discovery. Instead of closing the drawer,<BR>
you can hit the tab key to change focus to the content window. Tab will<BR>
cycle between the search box, the results list and the content window.<BR>
Whichever one is active will use the highlight color chosen in the<BR>
Appearance pane.<BR>

I find that if the Toolbar is visible, the Tab cycles through all the Toolbar icons, or Shift-Tab twice reverses to the Search box then the Content window.</TT></SPAN></FONT>
