hiliting of editable text in newly created dialog?

[neves@aristotle.ils.nwu.edu (David Neves)]

When I create a new dialog window one of the
editable text boxes gets hilited if it has text in it (execute
example below).  How can I prevent this hiliting? 
-thanks, david

(oneof *dialog*
       :dialog-items (list (oneof *editable-text-dialog-item*
                                  :dialog-item-text "hi there")))
