Hello again. I'm using Doug Young's one_line text widget code and
am having some trouble. I set up the widget this way:

 strcpy(file_hack_ptr->filename,"test");
 XtSetArg(wargs[0],XtNeditType,XwtextEdit);
 XtSetArg(wargs[1],XtNstring,file_hack_ptr->filename);
 textwidget = create_one_line_text_widget("edit",rowcol,wargs,2);

I'm using this so that someone can enter in a filename for save/read
operations. Now the widget pops up with "test" in it. I can modify
it, but when I access file_hack_ptr->filename in say a fopen 
statement it is still "test". Is file_hack_ptr->filename merely
copied into the widget. I though i was actually modifying the string 
itself? How do I do that, b/c that's what i want.

Thanks
