_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This procedure is part of the Tk script library. Its argu-
ments describe a dialog box:
_w_i_n_d_o_w
Name of top-level window to use for dialog. Any exist-
ing window by this name is destroyed.
_t_i_t_l_e
Text to appear in the window manager's title bar for
the dialog.
_t_e_x_t Message to appear in the top portion of the dialog box.
_b_i_t_m_a_p
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 displayed in
the dialog.
_d_e_f_a_u_l_t
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 but-
ton, and so on). If less than zero or an empty string
then there won't be any default button.
_s_t_r_i_n_g
There will be one button for each of these arguments.
Each _s_t_r_i_n_g 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.
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.
