$	Is there any way to turn off the system requester that is
$displayed when one attempts to access a 'disk' that is not mounted?

Yes - set the pr_WindowPtr in the Process structure associated with
the program to -1 (I think that's the value).  Then AmigaDOS doesn't
know where to stick requesters and so just returns error codes (probably
via IoErr()).

E.g:

ToggleRequesters(Flag)
int Flag;
{
	extern struct Task *FindTask();

	static APTR WindowPtr;
	struct Process *Me;

	Me = (struct Process *)FindTask(NULL);
	if (Flag)
	{
		Me->pr_WindowPtr = WindowPtr;
	}
	else
	{
		WindowPtr = Me->pr_WindowPtr;
		Me->pr_WindowPtr = -1;
	}
}

Note: if you call the function with 1 first you will get in trouble.
