I am running X11R4 on a Sun 3/60 under SunOS 4.1.  In one of my appications,
lets call "XYZ" for argument sake.  I make a the following calls:

    sprintf(appstring, "%s.geometry", "test");
    geostr = XGetDefault(surface->display, "XYZ", appstring);

geostr is a char pointer, appstring is a 80 element character array.  geostr
is always null in all of the applications that use this code.  I am running
Twm with UsePPosition set to "on" in my .twmrc.  WHAT IS WRONG!!! Is there
AFM that I can R to help me?  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
