Here is
an example of
a requester:
To respond to
a
requester, use the gadget or
gadgets
it provides.
Among
the
gadgets,
there
are always
one
or
more
exit gadgets
that
you select
to close the
requester.
In
many requesters, the OK gadget is an exit gadget. Many requesters
also
have
a
Cancel gadget you
select
if for any
~eason
you don't want to perform
an

Autorequest requesters
contain
only two gadgets: a Retry or Continue
gadget and
a

on
the Selection
button in the usual way.

the Workbench menu is
a string gadget.

a cursor
