+The return value is @var{value} from the chosen alternative.
+
+An element of the list may be just a string instead of a cons cell
+@code{(@var{string} . @var{value})}.  That makes a box that cannot
+be selected.

+If @code{nil} appears in the list, it separates the left-hand items from

 Dialog boxes always appear in the center of a frame; the argument
 @var{position} specifies which frame.  The possible values are as in
 @code{x-popup-menu}, but the precise coordinates don't matter; only the
 frame matters.
