## value = tk_dialog(title, text, bitmap, default, ...)
##
## open a dialog window named 'title' with 'text' printed and N buttons
## named as the optional arguments, with button numbered 'default' being
## the default action. The return value is the number of the clicked button.
## First button is number 0.
##
## eg: ret = tk_dialog("Warning", "You are about to erase the whole disk. Are 
##       you sure?", "questhead", 0, "No","Yes", "Have I asked you something?")
## will return 0 if the first button (No) is clicked, etc.
##
## there are 6 meaningfull bitmap names: error, hourglass, info, questhead,
##	question and warning. All arguments must be strings, except 'default'.
