I've been programming with Xlib for a while now and just recently decided
to give Xt a try  -  it sure didn't take long to run into a problem :-).
I'm attempting to popup an already created DialogBox from within an action.
Depending on the input string to the action I want the DialogBox to have
one of 2 labels ("Enter input file" of "Enter output file").  I can't seem
to change the label with XtSetValues  -  the box always pops up with the
default label. 

Here's the method I use within the action:

	- Set label in DialogBox widget according to input
	- Set x,y of PopupShell according to pointer position
	- XtRealizeWidget(PopupShell)
	- XtPopup(PopupShell, XtGrabNonexclusive)

Am I forgetting something?  Please respond via email.
Thanks in advance.
