I am trying to associate an action routine with the value field (input
line) of a dialog widget, and was wondering if anyone has done this before. 
I have a simple dialog widget which prompts the user to enter a filename.
There are two command buttons for the user to "confirm" or "cancel"
the filename, and these work fine.  But I would also like to process
the filename if the user types a carriage return, in the same way I
process it if the confirm button is pressed.  I can associate an action
routine with the dialog widget, but that doesn't work for actions inside
the "value" widget.  Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance for any help,
-Sandy
