+.SH NAME
+tk_messageBox \- pops up a message window and waits for user response.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBtk_messageBox \fR?\fIoption value ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This procedure creates and displays a message window with an
+application-specified message, an icon and a set of buttons.  Each of
+the buttons in the message window is identified by a unique symbolic
+name (see the \fB\-type\fR options).  After the message window is
+popped up, \fBtk_messageBox\fR waits for the user to select one of the
+buttons. Then it returns the symbolic name of the selected button.
+
+The following option-value pairs are supported:
+.TP
+\fB\-default\fR \fIname\fR
+\fIName\fR gives the symbolic name of the default button for
+this message window ('ok', 'cancel', and so on). See \fB\-type\fR 
+for a list of the symbolic names.  If the message box has just one
+button it will automatically be made the default, otherwise if this
+option is not specified, there won't be any default button.
+.TP
+\fB\-icon\fR \fIiconImage\fR
+Specifies an icon to display. \fIIconImage\fR must be one of the
+following: \fBerror\fR, \fBinfo\fR, \fBquestion\fR or
+\fBwarning\fR. If this option is not specified, then no icon will be
+displayed.
+.TP
+\fB\-message\fR \fIstring\fR
+Specifies the message to display in this message box.
+.TP
+\fB\-parent\fR \fIwindow\fR
+Makes \fIwindow\fR the logical parent of the message box. The message
+box is displayed on top of its parent window.
+.TP
+\fB\-title\fR \fItitleString\fR
+Specifies a string to display as the title of the message box. The
+default value is an empty string.
+.TP
+\fB\-type\fR \fIpredefinedType\fR
+Arranges for a predefined set of buttons to be displayed. The
+following values are possible for \fIpredefinedType\fR:
+.RS
+.TP 18
+\fBabortretryignore\fR
+Displays three buttons whose symbolic names are \fBabort\fR,
+\fBretry\fR and \fBignore\fR.
+.TP 18

+.TP 18
