Hello net-world,


I am using Sun Microsystems Guide to become familiar with Open Look programming
as well as to design an implement a simple front end for a demo program.

I have two questions, both involving text panes.

1) When I quit the application(which uses a text pane), a notice box comes up
	and asks to save or discard the edits. I would like to stop this from 
	happening. The text pane is read-only and there is no real reason to
	save the output.  Is there a way to stop this notifier box?

2) It appears that when I write something to the text pane using textsw_insert()
	there is a "lag" time in between the time that I call for it to be   
	printed and the time that it is printed. It seems as if it will print
	at the time that a mouse event is encountered(e.g. mouse moves over text	pane).  If there is no mouse event, it saves the data for a while and
	then writes it all at once. It is acting like a buffer.  The problem is
	that the items being written out are real-time data and buffering is
	very bad. Is there a way that I can stop this "feature"?


Thanks,

Jack Gidding
