[edited] ... > Does anyone know how to set this resource? The Athena Dialog widget's user input area, or "string", is implemented by an AsciiText widget whose name is "value". You can use XtNameToWidget to get the widget ID of the child of the dialog whose name is "value". Then, use XtSetValues to set the string resource of that widget. If you want the input area to appear blank, set the string resource to the empty string "" before popping up the dialog box. Donna Converse converse@expo.lcs.mit.edu

I am really qute embarassed to acknowledge my "C" error rather than an Athena error. I have my application working now but appreciate the people who responded to my plea. Blushingly Karen Thelen
