# tk common message boxes
# this module provides an interface to the native message boxes
# available in Tk 4.2 and newer.
# written by Fredrik Lundh, May 1997
# options (all have default values):
# - default: which button to make default (one of the reply codes)
# - icon: which icon to display (see below)
# - message: the message to display
# - parent: which window to place the dialog on top of
# - type: dialog type; that is, which buttons to display (see below)
