I am trying to write an application using Motif.  I have been trying to
figure out how things work from the OSF/Motif books.  I have also looked
at the sample UIL files and c programs, e.g. hellomotif, motifburger and
periodic that came with the software.

However, there doesn't seem to be enough there for a beginner like me.
So, this is an open request for help.  Do you have any sample programs
that might illustrate how things are done?  For example, bringing up
a popup with different widgets, getting the input, etc.  Nothing is too
simple.

I have scoured the bookstores for good books.  Most of them deal with
raw X programming.  Some of them deal with toolkits.  However, I haven't
found one extensively about programming with  Motif UIL.  Perhaps it's
too easy but I don't find it so.  Suggestions on books also appreciated.
I have a book by Brian J. Keller and another by Douglas A. Young in
addition to the OSF/Motif series.

We have DEC's implementation of Motif 1.0 running on DECstations.
Thanks for any help you can offer.


Yan.
