Somewhere in a manual which I can't find right now (DOS tech ref?) it says that if you set this to point to a window, DOS requesters will come up in this window. If you set it to 0, they will come up in their own window on WBENCH screen, and if you set it to -1 they will not come up at all and you will just get the error back (as if the user cancelled). I may have the 0 and -1 cases backwards, so just look at one of yours to see which it is. Also, be sure to put it back how you got it because DOS does not reinitialize this after each command. -- Disclaimer: I haven't done this. I only read about it :)
