I've been unable to positively determine that BASH suports this at runtime rather than compile-time.

[edit] ahah. It's enable, not builtin in bash.

It's apparently documented in the source code not the manual page.

bash builtins seem to be more difficult to build and write than ksh ones. They depend on bash internals for their argument lists, so it's not as simple as builtin(argc, argv[])...

xmdialogshell

XmDialogShell(3)						  LessTif Manuals						  XmDialogShell(3)

NAME

       XmDialogShell - Motif-compatible modal-dialog shell widget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/DialogS.h>

       XmDialogShell

       XmCreateDialogShell

DESCRIPTION

       XmDialogShell is a Shell widget, which means its main purpose is to interface between the application and the window manager.

       XmDialogShell  specifically  interfaces between XmBulletinBoard(3x) and its subclasses and the window manager.  More information on this is
       found in the XmBulletinBoard(3x) documentation.

       An instance of this class is created on the fly when some convenience functions are called.  In these cases,  two  (or  more)  widgets  are
       actually  created,  and	the  return  value of the function is the widget ID of the widget which is a child of the dialog shell.  This is a
       grandchild of the widget whose ID was passed to the function.
