These number are not real useful to anyone who is reading this list via the

What do you mean "My default trans. table?"  If I understand you correctly you
want to have a translation table that is overrideable by the user, but is not
the same as the widget's default table.  If this is the case then you need to
put your translation table in the application's app-defaults file, and install
it in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/<Application Class name>.

The translations passed into SetValues must first be put into the toolkits
internal format, use XtParseTranslationTable(defaultTextTranslations).  and then
pass the result to XtSetValues().

No, apology necessary, some people don't have wizards just down the hall.
