I am writing my first application using the Athena widgets X11R2;
actually, its my first toolkit application under X.  Hopefully, someone
can tell me (or provide an example) how to use the TextWidget.  

I am using an asciiStringTextWidget and want to change the string
when the user asks for new information.  Changing XtNstring results in a
X Toolkit error, because this feature is not supported.

I thought that I might need to create a TextWidget instead, by supplying
both the source and sink myself.  Then, I could change the source, as
needed.  Unfortunately, the documentation is a bit sparse in this area.  

Any suggestions on how to create both sources and sinks or where I can
find additional documentation on the Athena Widgets would be appreciated.
