_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This procedure is part of the Tk script library. Its
arguments describe a dialog box:
window Name of top-level window to use for dialog. Any
existing window by this name is destroyed.
title Text to appear in the window manager's title bar
for the dialog.
text Message to appear in the top portion of the dialog
box.
bitmap If non-empty, specifies a bitmap to display in the
top portion of the dialog, to the left of the text.
If this is an empty string then no bitmap is dis-
played in the dialog.
default
If this is an integer greater than or equal to
zero, then it gives the index of the button that is
to be the default button for the dialog (0 for the
leftmost button, and so on). If less than zero or
an empty string then there won't be any default
button.
string There will be one button for each of these argu-
ments. Each string specifies text to display in a
button, in order from left to right.
After creating a dialog box, tk_dialog waits for the user
to select one of the buttons either by clicking on the
button with the mouse or by typing return to invoke the
default button (if any). Then it returns the index of the
selected button: 0 for the leftmost button, 1 for the
button next to it, and so on. If the dialog's window is
destroyed before the user selects one of the buttons, then
-1 is returned.
While waiting for the user to respond, tk_dialog sets a
local grab. This prevents the user from interacting with
the application in any way except to invoke the dialog
box.
