[comp.windows.x] Youngs Xt Text

I am trying to program my way through Young's X Applications book in order to
become more familiar with the X programming paradigm.  I'm in trouble plenty
early on.

1. It appears he references the HP widget set (specifically
XwstatictextWidgetClass) early and often.  I understand that the HP widgets
aren't ported to Rev. 3 yet, at least as far as we members of the general
public are concerned.  Is that so, and is there a workaround?

2. I have struggled in vain for someone in these texts to tell me how one finds
a "widget directory" for a given widget set.  I have gone through (with
reasonable thoroughness, I hope) the X Intrinsics manual, the Young book, and
the other P-H X book (the name of which escapes me at the moment) without any
mention of this.

I'd be overwhelmingly obliged if someone could point the way for me.
