It would be defined so that any keyboard operation that did not fit such and such conditions would be passed to whatever window was active when this requester was created. Benefits: You can keep typing, and if you don't hit La-V or La-B it would go to the program. Suggested condition and implementation: Require it to match a menu selection or be passed to the next window. Have the system requestors come with a menu item. Real problem that this thing is trying to get around: I put a disk in, type a command, the requestor pops up, and then later goes away. -- The driver should check when the request comes in if there is a disk in the drive, and not just check its cache'd result from the last 2 second check.
