Hello, netland!

Please someone tell me how the heck I change the text source
of an asciiDisckWidget after it is created!! The O'Reilly books
say its possible, using XtTextSetSource(...) and I (think) I know
that I build the XtTextSource data item using XtDiskSourceCreate(...)
call, but I need the details! I've been hunting for the answer all day.

Other "nice to knows" if you know them are:

How do I force an update of the data in the text widget to disk?

How do I get at the on-disk data from the text widget after the force?

This is all for X11R3, Athena widgets, programatically, of course.

Reply to john@ctc.contel.com, I'll post a summary.
