   There's a recessed "tab" that can be felt from underneath the
"drawers" that needs to be depressed (pushed upwards) to remove the
drawer from the array.  Note that the drawer may need to be re-
inserted a small ways before the tab-depression will actually have
any effect.  Said tab is roughly dead-center on the drawer.  Feel
for it - you'll find it.  Don't force!  (See below.)

   On another note, I'm staring at one of those things at work in
in which the tab has gotten bent so badly that it won't disengage.
I'm contemplating the use of nuclear power on the thing....

   Cheers.
