Release: X11R2
System:  4.3 BSD UVaxII with Parallax running Xplx (ucode 7.xx)
Routine: XSendEvent

how do I use it... the following syntax seems to never succeed (status
returned as zero and event never is generated.)

	XEvent ev;

	ev.type = Expose;
	ev.xexpose.display = dpy;
	ev.xexpose.window = window;
	ev.xexpose.x = 0;
	ev.xexpose.y = 0;
	ev.xexpose.width = 30;
	ev.xexpose.height = 30;
	ev.xexpose,count = 0;
	XSendEvent (dpy, window, False, ExposureMask, &ev);

returns a 0 -- call fails.

One other question -- is there a need for this much code duplication?
I mean, I pass the display and window to the command as well as in the
structure.

Please correct my stupidity... it must be something obvious.
