Software: SCO Development Kit (Motif 1.0, X11 release 3).

I have a main window with two child, text widgets.  The main window
is a tab group so that the user may use the cursor up and down keys
to navigate between the two text objects.

I would like somehow to have the return key behave like the cursor
down key, i.e. if the user hits return then it navigates to the
next text object as if they had pressed the cursor down key.

I could add an activate callback to each widget and then navigate
to the desired widget using _XmGrabTheFocus() but this seems a
little messy.  I would be happier using XmProcessTraversal but
I do not have Motif 1.1.

I would be grateful to anyone who can come up with a cleaner method
of doing this.

Stuart.
