Suzanne O'Hara <sohara@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu> asks:

	I am learning to program with motif and have run into what
	seems a very simple problem. I have not been able to find a way
	to convert a motif XmString to a regular C char string.

If you are interested only in left-to-right segments, you can use:

	result = XmStringGetLtoR(cstring, charset, &charp);

Remember to XtFree(charp) when you no longer need it.
