How can I redirect System Request windows to a screen other than the
Workbench screen? In particular, I'm interested in the ones that say
"Please insert volume ... in any drive". I'm told Deluxe Paint II and
MaxiPlan both do it, so it must be possible.

From the bag of tricks of Bryce Nesbitt: struct Process *mproc; struct Window *window; APTR temp; ... mproc = (struct Process *) FindTask(0L); temp = mproc->pr_WindowPtr; mproc->WindowPtr = (APTR) window; /* any window open on custom screen */ at the end: ... mproc->pr_WindowPtr = temp; /* retore BEFORE CloseWindow */ CloseWindow(window); Enjoy. -- Marco papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Set pr_WindowPtr in you're process structure to point to your window. Then all system requests will appear there (when they are instigated by your process). You can find your process structure with either FindTask(NULL) if you are started from the CLI or as part of your Workbench startup message if you are started from the Workbench. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
