I have several text fields that I have just set up as tab groups so that
the user can use <TAB> to go from field to field.  I'm having problems getting
the text in the field just entered to be highlighted(selected).
My purpose is to allow the user to directly replace the current text with
the next keystroke instead of having to double click the mouse.

I've tried using XmTextSetSelection() within an XmNfocusCallback function,
but this doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
