Subject: How can I set the input focus?

Can someone tell me how I can explicitly set the input focus to a particular
widget from within my application? I have a screen consisting of lots of
XmText widgets within a Form. In one of the Text widgets, I process the input
in the Activate callback, and if the input was empty I want to move the
input focus/cursor to the next Text widget (yes, I know it's a bit weird).

Browing the man pages I thought that XtCallAcceptFocus() looked just the thing,
but when I tried to use it I discover it does not actually exist in my libXt.
Any ideas?
