## @deftypefn {Function file} {@var{[SEL,OK]} =} listdlg (@var{KEY} ,@var{VALUE} [, @var{KEY} ,@var{VALUE}, ...]])
##
## Returns the user's inputs from a list dialog box in form of a vector of 
## selection indices SEL and a flag OK indicating how the user closed the dialog box.
## The returned flag OK is 1 if the user closed the box with the OK button, 
## otherwise it is 0 and SEL is empty. 
## The indices in SEL are 1 based, i.e. the first list item carries the index 1.
##
## The arguments are specified in form of @var{KEY}, @var{VALUE} pairs. 
## At least the 'ListString' argument pair must be specified.
##
## @var{KEY}s and @var{VALUE}s pairs can be selected from the following list:
##
## @table @samp
## @item ListString
##    a cell array of strings comprising the content of the list.
## @item SelectionMode
##    can be either @samp{Single} or @samp{Multiple}.
## @item ListSize
##    a vector with two elements [width, height] defining the size of the list field in pixels.
## @item InitialValue
##    a vector containing 1-based indices of preselected elements.
## @item Name
##    a string to be used as the dialog caption.
## @item PromptString
##    a cell array of strings to be displayed above the list field.
## @item OKString
##    a string used to label the OK button.
## @item CancelString
##    a string used to label the Cancel  button.
## @end table
##
## Example:
##
## @example
##   [sel, ok] = listdlg ( 'ListString',@{'An item', 'another', 'yet another'@}, 'SelectionMode','Multiple' );
##   if ok == 1
##      imax = length(sel);
##      for i=1:1:imax
##         disp(sel(i));
##      end
##   end
## @end example

## @end deftypefn
