The cleanest way is to use the MrmNcreateCallback callback.  The function
that you register can store the widget ID passed to it. Then you can use
this ID to do XtSetValues and XtGetValues().

Here is an example:

UIL:
    object transDialog: XmFormDialog {
	callbacks {
	    MrmNcreateCallback = procedure transCreate();
	};
    };


C:
    static Widget transWidget = NULL;

    void transCreate(w, client, call)

	Widget              w;
	XtPointer           *client;
	XtPointer           *call;

    {
	transWidget = w;
    }
