Hi,

	Is there any way in Motif 1.0 to tell a RowColumn widget to start
	a new column when packing is set to XmPACK_TIGHT?

	Basically, I am looking for something like
		XmCreateRowColumn(...)
		XtManageChild(XmCreate...)
		XtManageChild(XmCreate...)
		XtManageChild(XmCreate...)
		<start new column>
		XtManageChild(XmCreate...)
		XtManageChild(XmCreate...)
		XtManageChild(XmCreate...)
	I can't do it by setting the height of the RowColumn because it
	has to be big enough to accomodate the longest column, but not
	all columns have the same height, i.e. sometimes I want to wrap
	and start a new column even though there may be space in the
	current column.

	Or do I have to resort to the Form widget?

	Thanks much.

	Jabir
