I have some questions about xedit.  I know that it is a pretty simple editor
with some emacs feel to it.  

1.) Is the "emacs" feel of xedit a part of text widgets in general?  
    Will I find the same key bindings in other applications that use
    text widgets?

2.) How do I alter or add to the xedit configuration?  The man page 
    says something about a binding file .XtActions and implies that
    the .XtActions file is included with the X11 release.  I've not 
    found it.  (If someone is willing to e-mail me a copy of their 
    .XtActions file for an example I'd sure appreciate it.)

3.) Is there a way to cause tab characters to show up when I type them in?
    The way xedit is set up on my machine, a tab character is inserted in
    the text and shows up when the file is printed, but the cursor does 
    not move when I am in xedit.
