DESCRIPTION
       Curses::UI::Dialog::Question is a basic question dialog. This type of
       dialog has a message on it, a TextEntry answer box, and one or more
       buttons. It can be used to have a user enter some answer in response
       to a question.

       See exampes/demo-widgets in the distribution for a short demo.

OPTIONS
       * -title < TEXT >
	   Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

       * -question < TEXT >
	   This option sets the question to show to TEXT. The text may con-
	   tain newline (\n) characters.

       * -buttons < ARRAYREF >
       * -selected < INDEX >
       * -buttonalignment < VALUE >
	   These options sets the buttons that have to be used. For an expla-
	   nation of these options, see the Curses::UI::Buttonbox documenta-
	   tion.

METHODS
       * new ( HASH )
       * layout ( )
       * draw ( BOOLEAN )

	   and return its returnvalue. See Curses::UI::TextEntry for more
	   information on this.	 If the cancel button was pressed, the return
	   value will be undef.
