; @file_comments 
; Like dialog_message.pro if there is already some widget 
; active or like message.pro if there is not any widget active. 
; To ask a question whose answer is not yes/no,use xquestion.
;
; @param text {in}{required} 
; one string or one vector of string. Si le string ne
; comporte qu''un element, on cherche les eventuels characteres 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 routine_name)
;
; @keyword _extra 
; used to pass keywords from dialog_message.pro and message.pro
;
; @keyword PARENT 
; same as DIALOG_PARENT de dialog_message.pro
;
; @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 SIMPLE 
; Activate to print the error message without printing  the routine name with 
; its full path.
;
; @returns 
; -1 if the keyword QUESTION is not activated
; If the keyword 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!
