## Display @var{msg} using a question dialog box and return the caption
## of the activated button.
##
## The dialog may contain two or three buttons which will all close the dialog.
##
## The message may have multiple lines separated by newline characters
## ("\n"), or it may be a cellstr array with one element for each
## line.  The optional @var{title} (character string) can be used to
## decorate the dialog caption.
##
## The string @var{default} identifies the default button, 
## which is activated by pressing the @key{ENTER} key.
## It must match one of the strings given in @var{btn1}, @var{btn2}, or
## @var{btn3}.
##
## If only @var{msg} and @var{title} are specified, three buttons with
## the default captions @qcode{"Yes"}, @qcode{"No"}, and @qcode{"Cancel"} are
## used.
##
## If only two button captions, @var{btn1} and @var{btn2}, are specified 
## the dialog will have only these two buttons.
