How do I make Intuition requestors NOT appear? My program writes to a
file on a disk, and the disk may be write-protected. Intuition puts up
a requestor, which hangs the system because I have taken over the display.

I want all things that would put up a requestor to just return as if the
CANCEL had been hit; the above write would return with 0 bytes written, and
I guess I could do IOERR() to find out what actually happened.

Why does intuition HAVE to put up the requestor? I would like to disable this
for everyday use anyway. I would rather commands just fail quickly, than
have to wait for intuition to draw the requestor, and force me to respond to
it.

NOTES:

My display is not an intuition screen or window. I take over the
display with LoadView().

I install an input.device handler at priority 127, and pass NOTHING down.
Therefore intuition gets no timer events, keyboard, mouse, etc.(This really
speeds things up; the system doesn't have to do any processing when the
mouse is moved)

Thanks for ANY responses.
