Hi,
  I am looking for a way to figure out the window id of an xterm or hpterm
window. What I would like to do is XLIB graphics in the hpterm window or
create a child window with the hpterm as its parent window.

  I have used xwininfo to observe the window tree, but am not sure how to
traverse the tree, or really how to know when I have found the window tree
of the hpterm.

  I am running Motif window manager and using hpterm, but information about
how to do it with an xterm would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
