Okay?  I admit it.  I'm confused.

I am writing an application in which I want to write error messages to a text
widget.  I don't want these messages to be written to the "xterm" (stdout 
or stderr), since I would like to keep all interaction localized for the
program. 

I have attempted a couple of different strategies to implement this
idea, and have come up empty each time.  What strategy will work (in X11R3),
using one of the Widget sets (I would prefer to use the Athena Widgets, but
I'm flexible)?

many thanks,
Vince (nosmo@cornu.ucsb.edu) Kraemer
