Does anyone have experience converting character-based forms (e.g. 3270) 
into Motif forms.  I have a series of 24x80 form definitions where each 
field is described in terms of x-y location, length, initial value, label, 
etc.  I need to convert these into widget-based definitions.  I assume the 
XmForm with XmLabel and XmText children would be the way to go, but it is 
not obvious how the Position/Attachment resources should be specified.
Any help would be appreciated -- thanks in advance.
