Historic note:
- originally, ST/X had separate classes for the various entry methods;
- there were YesNoBox, EnterBox, InfoBox and so on.
- ST-80 has all this defined in the common Dialog.
- Therefore, for compatibility, many ST/X methods defined here in Dialogs
- class protocol simply dispatch to some other boxes class method.

instance variables:
- buttonPanel <PanelView> contains the button(s)
-
- okButton <Button> the ok-Button
-
- okAction <Block> the action to be performed when ok is pressed,
- or return is pressed.
-
- acceptReturnAsOK <Boolean> if true, pressing the return-key counts
- as if ok was pressed. Default is true.
-
- abortButton <Button> the cancel-Button
-
- abortAction <Block> the action to be performed when cancel is
- pressed.
-
- yPosisition <Integer> current y position when adding components
-
- leftIndent <Integer> left inset to use when adding components
-
- rightIndent <Integer> right inset to use when adding components
-
- addedComponents <Collection> programmatically added components
-
- inputFieldGroup <EnterFieldGroup>
- for added input fields
-
- acceptOnLeave <Boolean> if true (the default) and there are
- tabable inputFields, accept and close when
- the last field is left. If false, the ok
- button must be pressed to close the box.
-
- acceptedValue v(<Boolean>) valueHolder on a boolean
- after close: holds true if box was accepted
- (i.e. ok-Button was pressed), false if box was
- closed via cancel or window manager.
