 this is probably easy to do, but i am having a great deal of trouble trying
to implement it.  i would like to output information to the user (much as
one would  do with printf statements) and have it displayed in a widget,
any widget.  the Athena text widget is much more than i need.  how does one
write a string of text to a widget, and continue to write strings on
successive lines as they become appropriate?

thanx,
bruce
