SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       This  procedure  creates and displays a message window with an applica-
       tion-specified message, an icon and a set of buttons.  Each of the but-
       tons in the message window is identified by a unique symbolic name (see
       the -ttyyppee options).  After the message window is popped up, ttkkmmeessssaaggee-
       BBooxx  waits  for  the user to select one of the buttons. Then it returns
       the symbolic name of the selected button.

       The following option-value pairs are supported:

       -ddeeffaauulltt name

              sage window ('ok', 'cancel', and so on). See -ttyyppee for a list of
              the symbolic names.  If this option is not specified, the  first
              button in the dialog will be made the default.
