Calendar

Calendar widget enables the user to create a monthly Calendar box. The selected date(s) are returned when the widget is destroyed. The widget is basically a Dialog, and it can be embedded in an existing frame (returning the variable name for the date selection). It can be operated as a popup to allow for selecting just one date.
