  Is it possible to call an arbitrary action of a given widget
without sending an artificial event?  For example, based on
a return in a Text Widget, I want to be able to call the
"ListNextElement()" action of a list widget.  Is this possible?

Speaking of ListNextElement, I am having problems invoking it in
the usual way.  The Motif (1.0) Programmer's Reference lists
that action as being tied to ~Shit~Ctrl~Meta<Key>Down, but I have
not had any luck in getting that to work.  My test application
consists of only a list widget, so I don't think other translations
are overriding it.  I tried to tie ListNextElement to <Key>a, but that
didn't work either.  Any ideas?
