WIDGET COMMAND
pathName add ?arg...?

If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the creation command. Read-only options are not be modified.
pathName draw ?focus?
This command draw the Dialog, and set grab to it following modal option. If modal option is set to none, the command returns immediatly an empty string.
