<body> [default=] [pubscreen=] [INVISIBLE] Title: The name that will be given to the window that opens containing the string requester. (Required) Body: The text contained within the string requester. (Required) Default: If specified, this text is automatically entered within the text gadget when the window opens. PubScreen: Allows you to specify a public screen for the requester to open upon. Invisible: If this switch is present, the text displayed within the test gadgets is not shown. This is very useful when asking a user to enter a password, etc. Be careful when using both 'Invibisle' and 'Default=' at the same time, as it can be very confusing if you don't know what's already been entered in to the gadget!

RequestString v1.1 Adam Dawes 22nd June 1995 What is RequestString? ====================== RequestString is a little utility designed to complement the Commodore utilities, 'RequestChoice' and 'RequestFile', primarily of use in AmigaDos shell scripts. The program simply displays a requester containing text of your choice, and asks the user to enter a string. The string will then be printed to stdout (so it's very convenient to redirect the output of RequestString to an environment variable). Using RequestString =================== The parameters for RequestString are as follows: RequestString <body> [default=] [pubscreen=] [INVISIBLE] Title: The name that will be given to the window that opens containing the string requester. (Required) Body: The text contained within the string requester. (Required) Default: If specified, this text is automatically entered within the text gadget when the window opens.
