INTRODUCTION

 Since of Workbench 2.0 there is the asl.library providing an easy to
 use and quite comfortable file requester. But there are many programs
 written for Kick 1.3 or poorly updated (e.g. DPaint) that use their
 own, mostly non-standard file requester. This program will allow You
 to use the standard Workbench file requester in most applications.

REQUIREMENTS

 FileRequester is a commodity and so it will need at least WB 2.0 and
 its asl.library.

INSTALLATION

 Simply double-click it to start or end. Of course, You might put it
 into Your WBStartup drawer.

USAGE

 Click into the field of a file requester where to put a path or a
 file name in. Then press the shortcut specified in FileRequester´s
 icon. Select a file or drawer. After You choosen OK, the path or
 filename will be entered then.

BUGS

 No really bugs as far as I know.
 But some limitations. Because FileRequester relies on Intuition
 Screens, Windows and Gadgets, it wont work with programs like
 TVPaint or VDPaint opening Non-Intuition screen on gfx boards
 and toing all the window stuff themselves.

TOOLTYPES

 CX_PRIORITY
  This tells FileRequster to use the given PRIORITY instead of 0.

 CX_POPKEY
  Determines the shortcut for popping up the requster.
  Default is "alt control d"
