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.










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:








delete	get	icursor	index
insert	scan	selection	xview

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      iwidgets::promptdialog command.

  

  
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.
