If it's any consolation, the R4 Xaw is MUCH more robust and functional
than the R2 version.

Try the HP widgets (Xw) or the Cornell widgets. (Both in the R4
contrib, see the patches in expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/R4fixes for them)
Xw is not as robust as it used to be in R2 days, since the toolkit
intrinsics changed so drastically, but I still find it more
cooperative than other widget sets.

Or pay Real Money and get Motif/OLIT.  Or try XView.

	Mark.
