REQGADGET is a flag used to indicate that a Gadget is part of a Requester (see "Requesters and Alerts," Chapter 7, Intuition Reference Manual). If a Gadget is part of a Requester, and the ENDGADGET flag is set, then the Requester will automatically go away when the user completes a transaction with the gadget. How this works exactly with string gadgets I'm not sure, but the "Ok" and "Cancel" gadgets on most Requesters are flagged with ENDGADGET. -- Stuart Ferguson (shf@well.UUCP) Action by HAVOC (ferguson@metaphor.com)
