I am having a consistent problem on several platforms with...
	- text widget,
	- XmSINGLE_LINE_EDIT mode,
	- no translations at all
Editing and selection works roughly as expected, but XmNactivateCallback
does not get called when the user hits return.  Why?

(because I'm a dummy, right?  true, but that's NOT the answer I need.)

This text occurs on a XmFormDialog, which also contains an XmLabel, an
XmDrawingArea and XmScrollBar, 3 XmRowColumn's of XmToggleButtonGadgets,
and a few XmPushButtons.  I don't have any tab groups set (should I?).
The UIL for the widget says it all:
    arguments
	{
	XmNtopAttachment	= XmATTACH_POSITION;
	XmNtopPosition		= posEntryT;
	XmNleftAttachment	= XmATTACH_POSITION;
	XmNleftPosition		= posEntryL;
	XmNrightAttachment	= XmATTACH_POSITION;
	XmNrightPosition	= posEntryR;
	!
	XmNeditable		= true;
	XmNeditMode		= XmSINGLE_LINE_EDIT;
	XmNrows			= 1;
	XmNmaxLength		= 30;
	};
    callbacks
	{
	XmNactivateCallback	= procedure symSelTyped();
	};


There must be something I just don't understand.  Please help.
