.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBToplevel\fR class inherits everything from the \fBArchetype\fR
class, and adds a Tk toplevel called the "hull" component to represent
the body of the mega-widget.  The window class name for the hull
is set to the most-specific class name for the mega-widget.
The protected variable \fBitk_interior\fR contains the window
path name for the "hull" component.  Derived classes specialize
this widget by packing other widget components into the hull.
.PP
Since the hull for the \fBToplevel\fR class is implemented with
a Tk toplevel, mega-widgets in the \fBToplevel\fR class have
their own toplevel window.  This class is used to create dialog
boxes and other pop-up windows.

.SH "COMPONENTS"
.LP
.nf
Name:	\fBhull\fR
Class:	\fBToplevel\fR

.IP
The "hull" component acts as the body for the entire mega-widget.
Other components are packed into the hull to further specialize
the widget.

.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
The following example implements a \fBMessageInfo\fR
mega-widget.  It creates a pop-up message that the
user can dismiss by pushing the "Dismiss" button.
