What I want to do is very straighforward: from inside T (our local LISP)
I want to pop several transcript windows and send text the them.  Each
new line of text would appear below the previous line (in a particular
transcript window), and would scroll the window up one line when the 
bottom of the window had been reached. 

It should be easy enough to write a short program which pops a window on
the screen, taking as arguments x, y, width, height, font, etc. to pass
to XCreateWindow.  Another function to send text to the window using
XText.  However, I need to be able to scroll the text
in the window so that new lines can be inserted at the bottom of a full
window.  Related to this, I would like to be able to send a line of text
without specifying the absolute coordinates in the window.  Surely there
are some more text functions out there that I don't know about.

Can anybody make some suggestions, or hope against hope, send me some code
which does something like I've described.

Thanks in advance,

Jack Sieber
