Subject:  Reactivate XtMainLoop???

Environment:
    We are using 11R3 under Interactive UNIX.  We are also using
    Motif 1.0.  The processor is a 486.

Backgound:
    We are creating "utilities" to test LSI and VLSI chips/wafers.
    The tester is controlled through the 486PC.  We have a controlling
    system of processes that allows "applications" and "utilities"
    to both have control of the tester and knowledge of what was
    modified in the tester configuration.  A particular process
    controls who at that moment can read or write to the tester.
    This process allows utilities access when it requests to get
    control.  This process then gives control if no application
    is running.  The mechanism used is that the controlling process
    knows about a utility though a particular function in the utility.

Problem:
    What we need is once the utility gets access, we must be able to
    handle events normally (interactive mode).  How do you get things
    started up again?

    Thanks in advance.  ANY help is appreciated!
