[description deleted of problem #augmenting or #overriding translations for the
Motif XmPushButton in which 
	*Name.translations: #augment\n\
		<Btn3Down>:     Help()\n\
		<Key>F1:        Help()
results in only those translations]

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

The XmPushButton and several other Motif 1.0 widgets set up translations 
on a per-instance basis, usually to arrange, for example, for the PushButton
to behave alternately as a MenuButton. In doing this, the translations
already installed on the widget are ignored. We have a work-around which
will be part of the Motif 1.0.4 release and may be available to source
licensees earlier. 

This is also a problem for Motif 1.1.0, but I don't know how it will be fixed.
