I am trying to create a simple text window which I can just write text to.
I don't have a file, but the docs say that if you don't specify XtNfile
it will use tmpnam().  Well, it does, except that it then tries to open
the file with a r+ option which doesn't work because the file doesn't 
exsist.  Short of creating my own tmpnam() opening it and closing it to
make it exist and passing that, is there a way around this.  Is this
a bug, or am I doing something wrong??
