I am currently using an AsciiString widget in my application and want to read
the text from the widget.  If I use XtTextSetSelection it highlights the text
but does not move it into buffer 0.  If I click the mouse on it it does work
properly.  I would like to be able to read the contents of the widget without
clicking on it.  Is this a bug in the widget software, and is there another
way to read the text from an AsciiString widget?  Thanks,
