Needs a fix to the AsciiStringWidget.  The proper fix (to the Text widget)
is fairly lengthy and won't happen before X11R4.  A quick fix is possible
inside AsciiString.SetValues, by destroying and re-creating the
string source.  In fact, you should be able to do this yourself
by calling XtStringSourceCreate and then doing XtSetValues on XtNsource.
To avoid a memory leak, you should also retrieve the old source and
call XtStringSourceDestroy.

XtStringSourceCreate is documented (poorly :-( in the Athena Widgets
manual.  The resources are the obvious subset of the AsciiText resources.
