I'm having trouble writing a widget. Specifically, I want to set the border
width and border color on my new widget. My widget is a subclass of Core,
and Simple. What steps do I need to take to allow the specification of a
border width for my widget. It is my understanding, that this is already a
fnction of the Core Widget. X doesn't complain when I specify a border width,
but then again, it doesn't display it either. Is there something I need to
do in my Initialize routine (or perhaps SetValues) to make the border show?
I've looked at the code for the Athena Widgets, and I can't figure it out. If
I set the resource:
MyProg*borderWidth: 5 
Then every widget in my application but mine gets a 5 pixel border width. 

I'm lost ?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks in advance,
Frank.
