Well,
I received some replies as to how to do this, but nothing seems to work.
So, I'll repost to see if there are any takers.

I'm using Motif 1.1 on a Sun SPARCstation, developing context 
sensitive help for an application.  The problem is I can't get non-selectable
widgets like labels and drawing areas to respond to their help callbacks.
Only the selectable widgets, like push buttons, text and scale widgets
respond to their help callbacks.  It seems as if the selected 
widgets grabs and interprets *any* help callbacks
preventing the other non-selectable widgets from theirs!

I've tried to define and use translations to get around it with no success.
Any ideas?  *ALL* appreciated!

Thanks!
