---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am having problems with the translation tables.  I am running X11R4 and Motif
1.0 from MIT on a Sun 3/260, and X11R3 from Apple, and Motif 1.0 from Integrated
Computer Solutions on an MacIntosh with A/UX.  The probelm is on both machines.

The problem:  For a widget of the xmPushButtonWidgetClass I am trying to add the
XmNhelpCallback to display some help for this push button.

In my C code I write:
	{
	...
	n = 0;
	HelpCallback[0].callback = HelpProc;
	HelpCallback[0].closure = (caddr_t)"Help string.";
	XtSetArg(args[n], XmNhelpCallback, HelpCallback); n++;
	XtCreateManagedWidget("Name", xmPushButtonWidgetClass, parent, args, n);
	...
	}

In the x resource data base file I write:
...
*Name.translations: #augment\n\
	<Btn3Down>:     Help()\n\
	<Key>F1:        Help()
...

Now if I push the 3rd mouse button, or the F1 key I get the help function.  But I
can not push button 1 and call the XmNactivateCallback function.  #augment is
acting like #replace.  I have also tried, #replace, and #override, they all act
like #replace.

Has anybody seen that problem, or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance,
