Several questions concerning the WindowPtr field within the
process structure led me to believe this one could be
useful.

"DOSErr" lets you set your current CLI's WindowPtr to (0) or
(-1). "SHOW" will show you the current setting, "QUIET" and
"REQUESTER" are self-explanatory. All keywords may be
abbreviated by just giving the first letter. If you do not
give any parameters, it will change between "QUIET" and
"REQUESTER".

DOSErr QUIET
If EXISTS DF3:
AddBuffers DF3: 16
EndIf
DOSErr REQUESTER

It is especially useful in a startup-script to test for the
existence of volumes, drives etc. without this funny "insert
volume DF3: in any drive". 8-)

DOSErr will not change anything, if a value other than (0)
or (-1) has been written to WindowPtr before.
