	I have created a subclass of the Command widget class which takes an
additional resource flag `noResize'. When this flag is on, the widget
will not try to resize itself, though it will still respond to resize
commands from the parent.

	This widget class is normally part of the WidgetMaster package.
At the core of the WidgetMaster package is an interpreter which will
take a data file of widget specifications, and produce the user interface
on the screen. Specifying widgets and their resources in a data file
eliminates the repetitive coding of ArgLists, CallbackLists, resource
converters, and other widget creation code. It also makes changes to
the user interface much easier, as you simply edit the data file and
rerun the application - no recompilation is required.

	If you would like the code for the subclass of the Command widget class,
please send me E-mail and I will get it out to you. If you would like more
information on the WidgetMaster package, please let me know.
