Thanks to all those who answered by Translation Table question -
the solution was so obvious that I missed it !!!!

Anyway, I have another question about Motif's Scale widget.
I made the Scale widget a child of Bulletin - but no matter what I do,
the dimension of the Scale widget seems to be fixed at 15x100!!

I twiddled around with the values XmNwidth, XmNheight, and also
XmNscaleWidth and XmNscaleHeight to no avail. Whatever values I give
it, including negative values, the Scale widget stubbornly refuse to
obey by dimension paramenters.

If however I made Scale to be a child of a top-level widget, then it
resizes nicely. Any ideas??  Any one else have similar problems?

I am using OSF/Motif 1.0 - the same thing happens on a Sun 3/160,
a DEC station 3100 and an IBM PS/2 70.

(PS: I have not tried making Scale a child of other composite widgets,
  coz' I don't want to spend too much time hacking it).
