If you want to use the X Toolkit then there are a whole set of example programs
avaliable in the Core X11R4 distribution in "examples/Xaw".  These example
programs - about 12 in all - are intended to introduce the novice X programmer
to X Toolkit programming with the Athena widgets.  The examples cover everything
from creating widgets and specifing resources to creating custom resources and
application actions.
