RequestMode v1.0.


RequestMode is a little utility designed to complement the Commodore
utilities, 'RequestChoice' and 'RequestFile', primarily of use in AmigaDos
shell scripts or AREXX scripts.

The programs displays a requester containing a list of currently available
ScreenModes. When the user selects one of them, either the ModeID value or
the Mode Name will be printed to stdout -- so it's very convenient to
redirect the output or RequestMode to an environment variable.

An example is included that gets Viewtek to open pictures in any
DisplayMode selected.
