That requester comes up if you have a SHELL window open.  Simply close the
shell window before you start IPREFs (or alternately, don't cause any output
to be sent to the shell before starting IPREFs) and everything should be fine.

At the moment, the only updated programming docs for OS 2.0 are in the AutoDocs
available RSN from CATS.
