Alternatively, devguide uses a call to xv_unique_key() to generate  
unique numbers of type Attr_attribute for use as keys w/ XV_KEY_DATA:

------------------------------------------------------------------

Attr_attribute	MY_KEY;

...

Panel panel;
char  *string = "Hello";

main()
{
	xv_init( ... );

	MY_KEY = xv_unique_key();

	...

 	panel = xv_create( ... );

	xv_set( panel, XV_KEY_DATA, MY_KEY, string, NULL );

	...
}
