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
.
