Look in your Process structure. There is a variable there called pr_WindowPtr.
Somewhere in a manual which I can't find right now (DOS tech ref?) it
says that if you set this to point to a window, DOS requesters will
come up in this window. If you set it to 0, they will come up in their
own window on WBENCH screen, and if you set it to -1 they will not
come up at all and you will just get the error back (as if the user
cancelled). I may have the 0 and -1 cases backwards, so just look
at one of yours to see which it is. Also, be sure to put it back how
you got it because DOS does not reinitialize this after each command.
