I'm using Motif 1.1 (on VMS, but that shouldn't make a difference).  I
have a Command widget which has XmNsensitive set to False so that
users can't enter commands from the screen, but my application can
print messages to the widget.  I set XmNvalue with the current
message, but I can't figure out how to get the previous message up
into the history region.  I would like the 2 previous messages to
appear in the history region.  I have XmNhistoryMaxItems and
XmNhistoryVisibleItemCount set to 2.  I'm not sure how/if/when to set
XmNhistoryItems and/or XmNhistoryItemCount.

Can anyone help?

thanx,
