I see from my mail (the article hasn't arrived yet) that Kit@athena
(Chris Peterson) "Bleh"'d my code to get the text from an TextWidget
and suggested using XtGetValues().
ONE little problem.
On a Sun386i, with R2, at least, NONE of the normal solutions, including
what Chris suggested, came even remotely close to working. The only
reason I spent a day deeply enough in the bowels of the TextWidget
to find the calls I eventually used was because nothing else worked.
I agree with Chris - if it works now, do it right. But if whoever
asked that question had the same problems we had, the Bleh() function
may be the only solution.
