	Suppose I have an AsciiText (athena) Widget (passed to me by
WCL, although that shouldn't make any difference, right?).  I know its
a file-type widget -- how to I get at the filename?  The obvious tries
like:

    XtSetArg( args[0], "string", buf) ;
    XtGetValues( text, args, 1) ;

(where text is the widget, etc). return "" for the filename, which I
know is wrong.
	Any help, or suggestions as to where to look for help would be
appreciated (the Xaw documentation was not helpful).
