43 ### These package up the mess involved with the different kinds of dialogue
44 ### box xgetline can show. The common interface is informal, but looks like
45 ### this:
46 ###
47 ### ready(): prepare the widget for action
48 ### value(): extract the value the user entered
49 ### setvalue(VALUE): show VALUE as the existing value in the widget
50 ### sethistory(HISTORY): store the HISTORY in the widget's history list
51 ### gethistory(): extract the history list back out again
