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?
