I have an application where I want save the current settings to a file so
that they can be used again the next time the application runs. I read the file
using the XtGetApplicationResources routine which is very convenient:

    XtGetApplicationResources (toplevel, &app_data, app_resources,
                            XtNumber (app_resources), NULL, 0);

I thought if I update the fields in app_data with the new setting I could use
info in the structure to write the file (ie do the equivalent of
XtPutApplicationResources() ). Unfortunately XtPutApplicationResources()
does not exist and I have not found any easy way of emulating its behaviour.
So does anyone know of a smart way of doing it?

Thanks in advance.
