DESCRIPTION
       The  datefield  package  provides  the  datefield  widget  which  is an
       enhanced text entry widget for the purpose of date  entry.  Only  valid
       dates of the form M/D/Y can be entered.

       The datefield widget is, in fact, just an entry widget with specialized
       bindings. This means all the command and options for  an  entry  widget
       apply equally here.
