The dialogshell command creates a dialog shell which is a
top level widget composed of a button box, separator, and
child site area. The class also has methods to control button
construction.
The dialogshell command create 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 dialogshell
widgets:
activate center deactivate
See the "shell" manual entry for details on the above inherited
methods.

- hide
- index insert invoke
show
