Actually that is something that I'm just starting to play with. I don't know if my SimpleRequest() function has made it here yet, but it's a first draft at a possible library of Intuition-related functions. Things like just asking the user to click one of n number of gadgets, or getting a file (the way I'm doing the SimpleFileRequest() is to use the ARP one if it's present, otherwise put up a simple "Enter file name:"-type requester). If we're going to create a standard, now's the time to do it. James Bayless already presented a whole ton of ideas to us – which do we like, which do we dislike? I like a default file requester. Being able to change it would be nice, but how would it work? Should the format of everything be changable? Requesters? The look of 'Wait' mouse pointers?
