I am a novice X programmer, and am trying to create an application which
contains a 'menu bar' and drop-down menus.

I am limited to the tools included in the R4 distribution (ie, no Motif or
Open Look) ...so I am using Athena Widgets.

An example of what I am looking for:

(Menu Bar opening drop-down menus, Scrollbar along the left side of a text area)

|#|                                                  |
------------------------------------------------------

Is there anyone out there who has an example of the code I need? 
I am sure that this has been written hundreds of times, and
I assume it is relatively straightforward..  

If you have a skeleton program that I could just 'add callbacks' to, that
would be gravy.  In particular, I am looking for code to implement the
menus.

Thanks in advance,

Allan
