     Is there any way of telling xmh that I want my text editing (i.e.
     composition windows) to allow for a specified number of characters (say 80)
     and then get xmh/toolkit to figure out how big to make the window based on
     the fonts I am using.

Not at present, but it's on our to-do list for the text widget.
