Trey Roby asks:

> 1. Has anyone seen a Motif builder that requires no knowledge
   of X or Motif to use?

Simply put, Serpent requires no knowledge of X or Motif to use it, i.e., it
requires no coding of Motif or X; you still have to know what attributes you
want to set for a particular Motif widget. If you want more information
about Serpent, write me.

> 2. Is it true that Motif builders are not a short cut for
   learning Motif, but only helps to speed up writing
   an application?

Well, some Motif builders are a short cut, whereas some make it so you don't
have to learn Motif (coding) at all.
