______________________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The iwidgets::promptdialog command creates a prompt dialog similar to
the OSF/Motif standard prompt dialog composite widget. The promptdia‐
log is derived from the dialog class and is composed of a EntryField
with commands to manipulate the dialog buttons.
METHODS
The iwidgets::promptdialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name
is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various 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
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwid‐
gets::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 avail‐
able 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 corresponding 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 iwidgets::promptdialog command.
COMPONENTS
Name: prompt
Class: Entryfield
The prompt component is the entry field for user input in the
prompt dialog. See the "entryfield" widget manual entry for
