; Like <proidl>DIALOG_MESSAGE</proidl> if there is already some widget
; active or like <proidl>MESSAGE</proidl> if there is not any widget active.
; To ask a question whose answer is not yes/no, use xquestion.
;
; @param TEXT {in}{required} {type=scalar string or arrays of string}
; If TEXT is a scalar string, we look for the line feed characters "!C"
; comporte qu''un element, on cherche les eventuels caracteres de
; retour a la ligne: '!C'. If text is set to an array of strings, each
; array element is displayed as a separate line of text.
;
; @keyword SIMPLE
; activate to print only the message without the name
; and the line of the routine (defined by calling <pro>routine_name</pro>)
; or++ 
; Activate to print the error message without printing the routine name with
; its full path.
;
; @keyword PARENT
; same as DIALOG_PARENT of <proidl>DIALOG_MESSAGE</proidl>
;
; @keyword QUESTION {default="Warning"}
; Set this keyword to create a "Question" dialog.
;
; @keyword DEFAULT_NO {default="Yes"}
; Set this keyword to make the "No" button the default selection for
; "Question" dialog.
;
; @keyword _EXTRA
; Used to pass keywords to <proidl>DIALOG_MESSAGE</proidl> and 
; <proidl>MESSAGE</proidl>
;
; @returns
; -1 if the keyword QUESTION is not activated
; If the keyword QUESTION is activated, return 1 for yes and 0 for no.
;
; @examples
; If there is not any widget activated:
;
; IDL> help, report('toto tata')
; % $MAIN$: toto tata
; <Expression>    INT       =       -1
; IDL> help, report('does it works ?',/question)
; does it works ? y/n (default answer is y)
; <Expression>    BYTE      =    1
; IDL> help, report('question1: !C does it works ?',/question)
; question1:
; does it works ? y/n (default answer is y)
; <Expression>    BYTE      =    1
;
; If widgets are already activated, it is the same thing but with widgets!
