	Hi All!

	I am having a little problem with the text widgets.

	What I want it to do is when the text receives focus the
	cursor should be visible.  Then after the user enters something
	and hits a carriage return the cursor should disappear.

	The first thing I did was in the text widget's activate callback
	I set the cursorPositionVisible to false.  This did make the
	cursor disappear, but the next time I would go into the text
	the cursor did not reappear.

	I then tried setting autoShowCursorPosition to false and
	adding a focus callback that set cursorPositionVisible to true.
	This did not change the above behavior.  I put a print statement
	it the focus callback to make sure that it is called and I
	found that it was not.

	Has anybody had this problem?

	The widget tree is generally the following:

			XmMainWindow
			     |
			   XmForm
			     |
		      XmBulletinBoard
			     |
			   XmText

	We are currently using INTERACTIVE UNIX v 2.2, X11R3, and
	Motif 1.0.

	We are soon to be using MetroX which is X11R4 and Motif 1.1.

	Is this problem fixed in Motif 1.1?

	Any help is greatly appreciated!

					Caroline
