Thanks, that works great...  My next problem is that the values
would actually be more like:

xmessage -print -buttons "Dave's laptop:22.22.22.22" test

The exit value will actually be an IP address.  When I run the above
the exit value will always show as "22", and not "22.22.22.22".

I may have to rely on some kind of mapping table unless you guys
have any other ideas?
