See the default binding for the Text widget's insert-file action,
given in the xmh man page.  Also see the Text widget documentation
on the insert-file action, section 5.1.3 of the Athena widget set 
manual.  The one thing that is not mentioned is that the file
must be specified with an absolute pathname, not a relative
pathname.  The text widget has no concept of the current directory,
or of your home directory.
