Builds simple dialogs used in the X Window System environment.
dtscript [-xrm options] [-dir Path] [-file FileName] [-workspace WorkspaceName]
Desktop Script supports a subset of Motif widgets you drag and drop from the palette into your dialog. You can move or resize any widget in a dialog. You can also edit widget properties using the specialized editors provided.
You can enter callbacks to give widgets desired behavior. When a dialog is complete, Desktop Script generates dtksh code for it.
