	Can anyone out there tell me how I can set the input focus to
	a particular instance of a motif text widget?  

    See the Xt specification, section 7.3, "Focusing Events on a Child"

  Optimally, yes; in practice the Xt routines don't work and further confuse
  things. There are various Xm routines (documented and undocumented) which
  work more reliably.

In case anyone is confused, they work fine for the Athena widget set.
Perhaps I should refrain from answering questions when Motif is used! :-)
