I am using X11R3 Xhp widgets (with Martin Friedmann's fixes) on Sun 3/50.
I am trying to use TextEdit widget to display an ascii file. 

Question: What value should I assign to XtNtextSource resource? If I do
          not assign anything to this resource, it causes a core dump.
          Note that this resource is mistakenly listed as XtNsourec in 
          the documentation!

The documentation for this resource says:

<begin quote>

         XtNsource
               This specifies a new Source.  The default is StringSrc.

<end quote>

There are at least two errors in this. First, as mentioned above, 
XtNsource should have been XtNtextSource. Second, the default is
actually NULL, not StringSrc. I couldn't find anything like "StringSrc" 
any where in the code. What are we supposed to specify if the default is 
not desirable (as in case of disk source, I suppose)? What does Source
mean here?

Also, for some reason, specifying "disksrc" for XtNsourceType resource 
does not work (i.e. resource conversion from "disksrc" to XwdiskSrc does
not take place!) I have to explicitly assign XwdiskSrc to this resource.

I will appreciate any help. Please email your response.

Thanks.
