Yes, but we have other things to do which take precedence over *free*
technical consulting.  Convince HP to release us from other
responsibilities, and I imagine you could get same day service.
Convince us to work for you and you could get hourly updates.
Otherwise, we'll just answer as we can wedge you in (I like to spend
some time with my wife and children from time to time).

My suggestion involves using 1.1 Motif widgets.  Use text widgets which
have their resizeWidth resource set to TRUE (you may want to set
resizeHeight to true also, but that's not clear from your description).
Put the text widgets in a Form with suitable attachments (attach left
and right to the form, top and bottom so that they make a linked list
from top to bottom--remember to set the bottommost widget's bottom
attachment to attach form).  Set the resize policy of the form to
grow_only.  Put the form in a scrolled window.

What concerns does this miss?
