FUNCTION
RequestString is very similar to RequestChoice and RequestFile
which are included in the Workbench 3.x release.
It allows the user to enter some text which is then printed to
StdOut. You can redirect that output to whereever you want,
e.g. to an environment variable or to any other file.
It is 'pure' so it can be made resident.
SYNOPSIS
RequestString TITLE/A,BODY/A,STRING/K,PUBSCREEN/K,NOLINE/S,
NOQUOTE/S,NOEMPTY/S,PASSWORD/S,REQPOS/K
TITLE (required) titletext of requester
BODY (req.) text in the requester to explain to the user
what to do... more textlines can be realized
by using '*N' for a linebreak
STRING (optional) given text which can be changed by the user
default: empty
PUBSCREEN (opt.) name od a public screen to open the requester on
default: Workbench
NOLINE (opt.) no linebreak after text at output to StdOut
default: linebreak
NOQUOTE (opt.) no quotes around text at output to StdOut
default: text returned in "quotes"
NOEMPTY (opt.) if no string is entered RequestString returns with
returncode WARN instead printing an empty string
default: empty string is valid
PASSWORD (opt.) entered text is invisible, but output to StdOut
is of course VISIBLE!
default: visible
REQPOS (opt.) override the default-prefs of ReqTools
REQPOS=CENTER centers the requester on screen
REQPOS=POINTER opens the requester near to pointer
default: ReqTools-Prefs
EXAMPLE
RequestString "Titletext" "Please enter*Nsomething:" REQPOS=POINTER
