I am looking for clues/sources as to how to do a row/column
text editor.  What I want to do is have text fields, much like
in a spreadsheet that I can edit.  I want the ability to scroll
or pan around the different rows and columns.

Creating a bunch of XmTextFields is out of the question and
I don't see how I can mutilate a XmText widget to work.
Has anyone creating a text widget of this sort for Motif 1.1.*
Or does anyone have any suggestions as to what parts of any
of the text widgets that I could subclass from?  I want to reuse
as much as possible regarding standard Motif text Actions.

Basically, I want a two dimensional XmTextField array.

Thanks in advance!

Doyle
