Is it appropriate (ie: easy) to use a TextWidget as a window in which a user can type in text which will be interpreted by an application as commands? I need to replace the command section of a program which uses "getchar()" with an X11 window which passes entered text to the applications command interpreter. I tried using the distributed "xtext.c" demo (in 'examples/Xaw/xtext.c') but each time I hit a key I get "beeped" at by my Sun. I modified the code here to use the Edit and Append type of text selection... Any leads would be appriciated... Thanks, John Uhley uhley@tybalt.caltech.edu
