DESCRIPTION
The promptdialog command creates a prompt dialog similar to
the OSF/Motif standard prompt dialog composite widget. The
promptdialog is derived from the dialog class and is com-
posed of a EntryField with commands to manipulate the dialog
buttons.
METHODS
The promptdialog command creates a new Tcl command whose
name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke vari-
ous operations on the widget. It has the following general
form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the com-
mand. The following commands are possible for promptdialog
widgets:

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS

Returns the current value of the configuration option
given by option. Option may have any of the values
accepted by the promptdialog command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no option is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for pathName
(see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of
this list). If option is specified with no value, then
the command returns a list describing the one named
option (this list will be identical to the correspond-
ing sublist of the value returned if no option is
specified). If one or more option - value pairs are
specified, then the command modifies the given widget
option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
command returns an empty string. Option may have any
of the values accepted by the promptdialog command.
COMPONENTS

The ef component is the entry field for user input in
the prompt dialog. See the "entryfield" widget manual
