When I try to use the HP text widget I get a problem that I do not
understand.

I can put it on the screen and use it with no problems save two.

The first, and more annoying, is that the keys 'i' and 'd' seem to be
mapped to carriage return and delete respectively.

Second, the caret leaves residues on the left hand edge.

I am using vanilla X11 and Hp widgets on a Sun 3/160 running version
3.?, patches 1-8 for X11 and a set of patches for the widgets that 
claim to make it compatible with X11.  I don't remember the origin of 
those patches, but they came off the net into a file called Xw.R3fix.tar.  
Everything compiled without errors.  

Also, the programs in the test directory do not all compile, and the
ones that compile do not all run.  Several complain about missing a
routine XtGetCursor,  several die on execution with a Segmentation
Violation when the cursor moves into the window.  All of the major
problems I can remember for these tests seem to deal in some way with
the cursor.

Also, the code in the Xt directory in the Xhp distribution will not
compile.  Is it for release 2 of X?

Has anyone else had these problems?  Is there a new version or bug fixes
around?  Should I look to Xt or to Xw for the problems?

Here is the code, it is obviously hacked from one of examples.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <X11/StringDefs.h>
#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <Xw/Xw.h>
#include <Xw/TextEdit.h>

static char default_value[] =
	"This is a\ntest.  If this\nhad been an actual\nemergency...";

main(argc, argv)
unsigned int argc;
char **argv;
{
    static Arg arglist[] = {
	{XtNeditType, (XtArgVal) XwtextEdit},
    };
    Widget toplevel;
    char *index();

    toplevel = XtInitialize("textTest", "Demo", NULL, 0, &argc, argv);

    XtCreateManagedWidget( argv[0],
			  XwtextEditWidgetClass,
			  toplevel, arglist, XtNumber(arglist) );

    XtRealizeWidget(toplevel);
    XtMainLoop();
}
