Description

	DIALSBOX is an extension of the "Dials_Control" module written
	by James Peters, Ian Curington, and Stephen Pass.  The
	dialsbox module converts input from a dialsbox device into
	geometry transformations.  
	Below is how DIALSBOX associates the dials on the device:

Outputs

	Transformation Geom
	This should be connected to the GEOMETRY VIEWER if you want
	to transform geometry objects with the dialsbox.

Parameters

	Object Name
	This is the name of the geometry viewer object that the
	dialsbox transforms are applied to.
	Sensitivity Delay
	This delay prevents DIALSBOX from processing input that is
	coming too fast from the dialsbox.  DIALSBOX will at least
	wait "delay" amount of time before outputting a transformation.
	A smaller delay increases the time resolution of the dialsbox.
	A larger delay should be used when transforming geometries
	that are too large for your workstation to render in real time.
