This is probably an easy one, but I haven't seen it in the FAQ, so... I have been trying to position the cursor in a text widget upon the initial display of the widget and am not getting expected results. I am setting 'autoShowPosition' to True, 'cursorPositionVisible' to True, and 'cursorPosition' to n, where n is the number of characters from the beginning of the text. I had been setting these resources on creation of the Text widget. I then found that the Motif 1.1 bug reports include one saying you can't set the 'cursorPosition' and 'value' at the same time. I moved the XtSetArg for 'cursorPosition' and did an XtSetValues after creating and managing the widget, but this didn't work either. Positioning the cursor via mouse click is fine. The widget DOES have the input focus when it is first shown. Scrolling the text seems fine. What I'm eventually after is a browsing system that brings up a file viewer positioned at a routine the user wants to look at. I am using Motif 1.1, X11R4 on a Sparc 1+. What am I missing?
