Thanks to Donna Converse for being polite. I realise why such a
function is not provided now, and the use of application resources
is a little clearer. Sorry to waste bandwidth. Another question :

	For the application I am writing (integrated PABX console and
directory for telephone operators) has been decided by the powers
that be, that no mouse shall be needed to operate the application.
Therefore, to transfer focus between widgets I need to use the function
keys. Is the Xlib function, XSetFocus, the one to use ? Can such focus
transfer be accomplished with either Motif or Xt convenience functions?

Thanks to all who contribute to this news group. Your help has been
invaluable, and often not acknowledged;  for example, when some kind
person answers a question which is similar to one you would like
answered, but feel a little silly sending it down the wire because
it is too simple or naive.

Thanks again,
		Geoff.
