[comp.windows.x] changing Translation Table

wjhagins@VUSE.VANDERBILT.EDU (William J. Hagins) (06/24/89)

I need to change the translation table mapping for asciiStringWidget.
I have tried the solution in the Athena Widget docs, but have had no
success.  An example of this type of mapping would be of great help.

	Thanks,

I don't know what "solution" you are referring to.  The example on page
22 works fine for me, if I change the first line from

	Xmh*Text.Translations: \
to
	Demo*Text.Translation: \

And I have Demo as the application class name.  These user-specified 
translations would go into your Xdefaults file.  Is your Xdefaults 
file being read by the application?
