What is the correct way to halt an application and wait for a response
to a button selection?  For instance, if I have a dialog up that has
buttons "Yes" and "No", and I need an answer before the application
can continue, how do I do it?  It seems what I am doing now (coding
an event loop in the callback) is not the correct way to do it.  I
don't think I've seen an example using the Athena widgets.  If you
have an Athena way to do it, let me know.

Thanks,

Mark
