I'm having trouble specifying translations for the XmPushButton widget.
If I specify them as #augment or #override, they instead seem to #replace
the PushButtons default translations.  Here's a simple example
using Mri from the Widget Creation Library (wcl):

  Mri.wcChildren:         but
  *but.wcClass:           xmPushButtonWidgetClass
  *but.labelString:       Push Me
  *but.activateCallback:  WcSetValueCB(*but.labelString:  Activate!)
  *but.translations:      #augment \n\
                          <Key>a: WcSetValueACT("*but.labelString:    Action!")

When I type 'a' in the button, its label correctly changes to "Action!",
but the buttons default translations are gone. Btn1Down does not Arm()
the button and Btn1Up does not Activate() and Disarm().
It doesn't matter what translations I specify, the default translations
go away.  Even this causes the problem:

  *but.translations:      #augment

The problem isn't limited to wcl, I'm just using wcl as an example
because it is concise.

Has anyone else seen this or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Andrew
