Can anyone show me exactly how one goes about creating a message box 
under Motif that will not allow an application to continue until the
user replies?  I'm trying to display some message to a user that must 
be acknowledged before the underlying application resumes processing.
For example displaying a message such as,

"File already exists.  Overwrite existing file?"

To which the user may reply Yes or No.  At this point the application
must wait for the user to reply before continuing with the operation.
I've looked into Message Boxes and the various variations that are 
offered, but don't know how to wait for a reply.  I'd prefer not to
set the sensitivity of the application to False while awaiting a 
reply.  I have also looked into Popup shells and working with the
Grab settings, but to no avail.

Any help that you can offer in this matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
