   Historic note:

        originally, ST/X had separate classes for the various entry methods;

        there were YesNoBox, EnterBox, InfoBox and so on.

        In the meantime, the DialogBox class (and therefore its alias: Dialog)

        is going to duplicate most funcionality found in these classes.

        In the future, those existing subclasses' functionality is going to

        be moved fully into Dialog, and the subclasses will be replaced by dummy

        delegators. (They will be kept for backward compatibility, though).

    this class implements a pop-up box to show an information message.

    It has a single ok-Button, which closes the box.

    Also entering return has (by default) the same effect as pressing

    the ok-button.

    InfoBox is a superclass of some other boxes - see WarningBox, YesNoBox etc.

    most of them simply redefine the icon shown in the upper left or

    add buttons.

    [instance variables:]

        formLabel        <Label>        shows a bitmap (warning, question-mark)

        textLabel        <Label>        shows the boxes text

examples

    InfoBoxes are created with:

        aBox := InfoBox title:'some title'.

    and shown with:

        aBox showAtPointer

    or

        aBox open

    The default box shows 'yes' in its button; this can be changed with:

        aBox okText:'some string'.

    the boxes bitmap-image can be changed with:

        aBox image:aForm

    Since this type of information is pretty common, a convenient information

    method has been added to Object.

    Thus, you can use:

                                                                        [exBegin]

        self information:'hello world'

                                                                        [exEnd]

    everwhere in your program.

    for ST-80 compatibility, you can also use:

                                                                        [exBegin]

        Dialog information:'hello world'

                                                                        [exEnd]

    standard box:

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |box|

        box := InfoBox title:'hello world '.

        box open

                                                                        [exEnd]

    changing the buttons label:

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |box|

        box := InfoBox title:'hello world '.

        box okText:'wow'.

        box open

                                                                        [exEnd]

    changing the icon:

                                                                        [exBegin]

|box|

        box := InfoBox title:'hello world '.

        box image:(Image fromFile:'bitmaps/SBrowser.xbm').

        box okText:'wow'.

        box open

                                                                        [exEnd]

    or even:

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |box|

        box := InfoBox title:'hello garfield '.

        box image:((Image fromFile:'bitmaps/garfield.gif') magnifiedTo:200@100).

        box okText:'wow'.

        box open

                                                                        [exEnd]

    If you plan to use boxes as in the last example, you may want to

    keep the box around for reuse (since the image magnification takes some time).

                                                                        [exBegin]

        |box|

        box := InfoBox title:'hello garfield '.

        box image:((Image fromFile:'bitmaps/garfield.gif') magnifiedTo:200@100).

        box okText:'wow'.

        box open.

        box title:'hello again'.

        box open

                                                                        [exEnd]
