	Well I have a question that may have no solution!  I am trying to
imitate the Mac look-and-feel for a dialog box.  When the box pops up I want
the users input focused to the text widget of the dialog widget.  This seems
simple by using the XtSetKeyboardFocus() call.  But this call needs two widgets
the parent and the child to focus input to.  Well how do I obtain the text
widget of the dialog widget without dipping into the Private stuff????
Or do I have to create my own dialog box consisting of a label widget and 
asciiString widget so I can have direct access to the desired widget to focus
on.  
	Another nice featrue that I would like to implement is when the 
return key is pressed it will invoke the "confirm" button attached to the 
dialog widget.  I seem to remember some chatter a while back discussing this
issue stating that one could not do from inside the program but could through
the resource database.  Does anyone remember this conversation??  Is the 
translation table the way to go for this idea?  That is when return is pressed
I will call a routine that will then invoke the callback associated with the
"confirm" button.  Thanks in advance!!!!!!!
