Function :
==========
FrontEddi is an interface, which pops up an AslRequest to use the result
as the first parameter to an other program (e.g. a TextEditor).
Aliases may be used (as described under "Usage :").
Now nearly _every_ program may be run with a REQUESTER at StartUp !!!
Additional Information :
========================
"FrontEddi" stands for "(in) Front (of an) Editor", which just means,
that is called before e.g. a Text-Editor is called.
So this is not a C-Compiler's "FrontEnd", but may be an Editor's
"FrontEddi".
