Can anyone help me with the following questions?

1) intuition/intuition.h says:
	"The flag ENDGADGET, when set, tells the system that this
Gadget, when selected, causes the Requester or AbsMessage to be
ended."
	What is (or was) an AbsMessage?

2) When I close the Window which is currently active, which
Window will become active next?

3) Is there any way to assure mutual exclusion when accessing
AmigaDOS structures?  In particular, after I get a DISKREMOVED
message, I go to examine the DeviceList, and I'm catching it in
the act of being changed.  Forbid()..Permit() is not the answer. 
What I need is a semaphore, lock, resource--call it what you
will.  I want to delay myself long enough until AmigaDOS is
through.
