I am using req.library 2.5 with ARexx to prompt the user for a string.
I use the req.library function stringreq which works great except that
I would rather that the requester be on another screen.  Since the
ARexx interpreter is a task, req.library will always put the requester
on the Workbench screen.  Is there some way to make req.library think that
the ARexx task is actually a DOS process associated with the other screen
or something to make the requester come up where I want.

I am capable of writing the C program necessary to accomplish this task but
I was wondering if there was a simpler way.
