+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B xmsg
+program pops up a pretty GTK message box, containing the listed buttons
+(shown right to left along the bottom).  The button strings are listed,
+one per argument, after the message.  If no buttons are requested, an
+.B OK
+button is provided anyway.
+.PP
+A button may be selected as being the default (i.e., may be chosen by
+pressing
+.IR enter ),
+using the
+.B \-d
+option: the argument must either match a button name, or be an index
+(zero-based) of the requested button.  If you don't select a default,
+the first (rightmost) button becomes the default anyway.
+.PP
+Similarly, a button may be selected as being the `cancel' action (i.e.,
+may be chosen by closing the window or pressing
+.IR escape ),
+using
+the
+.B \-c
+option.  Again, the argument must either match a button name or be an
+index of a button.  If you don't select a cancel button, the last
+(leftmost) button because the cancel button.
+.PP
+If there is more than one button, the name of the selected button is
+printed on standard output when the program exits.
