DESCRIPTION

XmCreatePromptDialog is a convenience creation function that creates a DialogShell and an unmanaged SelectionBox child of the DialogShell.  A PromptDialog prompts the user for text input.  It includes a message, a text input region, and three managed buttons.  The default button labels are OK, Cancel, and Help.  An additional button, with Apply as the default label, is created unmanaged; it may be explicitly managed if needed.  One additional WorkArea child may be added to the SelectionBox after creation. 

Use XtManageChild to pop up the PromptDialog (passing the SelectionBox as the widget parameter); use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down.
