) Dear Netters,
) 
) 	This sounds stupid, but I suddenly realise I don't know how to
) find the parent of a Xt widget!  I know there is a field in the core
) widget which contains the parent, but I don't know how to get it
) nicely.  Could some kind soul point out how to do it, and where I can
) find further information?  Please email, and I'll summarise.
) 
) Thanks

There is a macro in the XmP.h (private functions/methods) called
XtParent.  I see no reason why this has been made private, but it
works.  Since I would like to know if there is a reason this call is
private, I thought I would *beam* my respose out to the net.
