Create an XmSelectionBox widget as the only child of
your toplevel shell.  Set the XmNdialogType resource
of the SelectionBox to XmDIALOG_PROMPT.  Then just
manage the SelectionBox and realize your toplevel.

Here's what you would do in Mri:

  Mri.wcChildren:     prompt
  *prompt.wcClass:    xmSelectionBoxWidgetClass
  *prompt.dialogType: DIALOG_PROMPT
