Howdy Motif lovers (or disenchanted users)!

I need to append an arbitrary amount of text
to the XmText widget (MOTIF).  What my ultimate
goal is this.  I would like to make
the XmText widget into a sort of transcript 
region.  I need to collect application 
messages and other user info. into a text
area so that they can scroll through it and
review the output of the application (of which
the transcript is a part of).  

The xterm window has capability that I like,
that is, it can collect output from programs
that write to stdout and stderr etc....  I would
like the same type of running transcript capability
in my application for application specific
messages.  I am really a Smalltalk-80 programmer
and liked the transcript idea that Smalltalk
uses.

Any help?  I would appreciate some postings.
