Under SunView it is possible to add arbitrary user input devices using the
``window_set_input_device'' call. We use it to allow custom-built
push-button panels to provide input via the Notifier. Does a similar
mechanism exist under OpenWindows?

I am aware that it may be possible to use the ``notify_set_input_func''
function although the ``XView Programming Manual'' just states that this
is used for files, pipes and sockets and says nothing about devices.

Regards and Thanks,

Rick
