    Since many ST-80 classes are subclasses of SompleDialog, this class
    is provided here to allow easier porting of ST-80 code.

    It does not (currently) provide much functionality and is NOT
    compatible to the corresponding ST80 class; therefore, manual
    changes have to be made to get those applications to run under ST/X.
    (but at least, this enables you to fileIn that code and have a superclass
     for them)

    However, as time goes by, ST/X applications may be converted to use the
    ApplicationModel / SimpleDialog framework as well.

    Notice: this class was implemented using protocol information
    from alpha testers and PD code - it may not be complete or compatible to
    the corresponding ST-80 class. If you encounter any incompatibilities,
    please forward a note to the ST/X team.
