Ummm....  The Dialog Manager only draws the bold outline for *alerts*,
not for all dialogs.  If you want to put bold outlines around the
default buttons in your own dialogs (DLOG's), you'll have to use
one of a couple of different methods -- but you definitely have
to go out of your way to get the bold outline.

If you are using alerts, you will indeed always have the default
button outlined automagically.  If you don't want this to happen,
you'll have to use ordinary dialogs instead.
