Subject: Forcing upper case on input(XmText)

I am working on an application under SCO's OpenDeskTop version of Motif 1.0.
We are doing a fair amount of data entry for a database.  As a part of that I
am using XmText.  I want to force entry of some XmText characters to upper case.

I created the XmNmodifyVerifyCallback and in the callback I accessed the text
to be inserted via

	 XmTextVerifyPtr->XmTextBlock->ptr

and made that text all upper case.  I was able to access the text and seemed
to be able to change its case but when the callback completed the original
lower case text was displayed.  I am left to assume that that text is a copy
of the actual text to be inserted.

Two questions:

	1. Is my assumption about the nature of the insert text provided by
	the callback correct?

	2. How should (can) I go about forcing the input to upper case?

Thanks,
