Hello.  I am using the Motif Paned Window (the widget where children
are stacked vertically and separated by a control sash that the user
can move up and down).  I have two children.  Although the top one in
my REAL application is more complex, let's say they are both Scrolled
Text windows (the top one is actually a scrolled window).  When this
monster comes up on the screen, the control sash is up at the top of the
paned window, the top edit window is squished to invisibility, and the
bottom window takes up all the space.  How can I control where the sash
goes?

My other problem is how do I move the sash and set maximum sizes on
the fly?  I've been setting constraint resources on the children of
the paned window (i.e. my two scrolled text windows), but to no
avail.  Anybody with a couple of tips?
