I have had success setting the resizeWidth resource to "true" in my resource file (I have not tried setting it from the application). There may be some constraining factors which you did not include in your post. What is the parent widget? If it is a Frame, it needs to be wide enough to allow the Text widget to grow. Have you set the columns resource of the Text widget to accomodate long strings? What other resources have you set for the Text widget, its parent, and the Shell widget? There may be some combination which is inhibiting the resize. Hope this helps. -- Roger Meunier @ Zuken, Inc. Yokohama, Japan (roger@zuken.co.jp)
