message Similar to the yes/no box, but with only an "Ok" button
text A scrollable text box that works like a simple file viewer

checklist Similar to the menu box, but allowing multiple selections
radiolist Checklist style box allowing single selections
gauge Typical "progress report" style box
tail Allows viewing the end of files (tail) that auto updates
