Description
This package provides a dialog which consists of 2 listboxes, along with buttons to move items between
them and reorder the right list.
::swaplist::swaplistpathNamevariablecompleteListselectedList ?options?
Creates a dialog which presents the user with a pair of listboxes. Items are selected by using the
buttons to move them to the right list. The contents of the right list are put in the variable
upon closure of the dialog. The command returns a boolean indicating if the user pressed OK or
not. If -geometry is not specified, the dialog is centered in its parent toplevel unless its
parent is . in which case the dialog is centered in the screen.
Options:
-embed if this flag is supplied, the procedure will create a swaplist widget named pathName, with
the variable set as the listvariable for the right side listbox. This flag will also cause
the -title and -geometry flags to be ignored.

should appear or not. defaults to true
-title sets the title of the dialog window. defaults to "Configuration"
