  We would like to pass multiple parameters to a function that has been 
  registered with XtAddCallback.  Normally you can only pass one param
  which then shows up as client_data.

  We've tried passing a pointer to an array of parameters (cast to XtPointer),
  but that failed - the contents are scrambled.

  We've tried to wrestle with Action Tables, with no success.

  Are we on the right track?  There seem to be no examples in the documentation
  or the sample code.  Any pointers to solutions or running chunks of
code would
  be appreciated.   Our current solution of global variables is NOT
satisfactory.
