It is a documentation problem. In the XForms distribution, the Changes file
references the change:

fl_show_choice(str1, str2, str3, numb, lab1, lab2, lab3)
changed to
fl_show_choice(str1, str2, str3, numb, lab1, lab2, lab3, default)

The header file is usually correct or otherwise, any program that uses the
questionable prototype will not compile properly :)

I will make the change to the online manual.

Thanks,
