Operations Involving Requesters
A requester is an area within a window that a tool uses to communicate with you.
Requesters are automatically selected when they appear.
A
system requester
is
a requester that appears when AmigaDOS or another
program needs a response from you. An example
is
a requester that asks you to
insert a disk.
A system requester can appear
in
any screen.
If
the screen containing a system
requester is obscured by another screen, the screen containing the requester
is
brought to the front; this ensures that the requester
is
visible.
When
you've
replied to the requester, you can move the screen to the back by
selecting the screen's Back gadget (at the upper right
of
the screen).
If
the
requester appears in the Workbench screen, you can also move the screen back
by holding down the Commodore key while you press the M key.
