DESCRIPTION
       The iwidgets::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 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 command.  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
              iwidgets::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
              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.

              prompt dialog.  See the "entryfield" widget manual entry for
