Hi!

I had some questions regarding the Motif text widget that I was hoping
a motif expert could answer.  I hope they havent been asked before.

1) I would like my newly created text widget to display some text read in
   from a file.  Is it enough to use the XmNvalue resource of the text widget?
   Right now, I am reading the file into a buffer, using XmCreateString() to
   create a XmString and then using XtSetArg() to indicate to the widget
   that I want this text displayed.  It does not seem to work.

2) If I set the resource XmNscrollVertical to true, should a scrollbar appear
   when the widget is realized?  I have read the man page and it indicates so.

Thanks in advance for the help

Bobby
