Hi folks;
  Another question, this time on text widgets. I have a dialog with
several one line text widgets attached to it. To the right of each
text widget is a button. When the button is pressed, I want new text to show
up in the assocaited text widget.

________________________________________________

| text1 b1
| 
| text2 b2
|

the code fragment is
{
	dialog = XmCreateDialogShell (toplevel, ...

	form = XmCreateForm (dialog, ...

	text1 = XmCreateTextWidget (form, attach upper left
	b1  = XmCreatePushButton (form, attach to right of text widget

	XtAddCallback (b1, XmNactivateCallback, cbfunc, "b1");
	XtManageChild (form);
	XtManageChild (dialog);
}

void cbfunc (Widget w, XtPointer data, XtPointer dummy)
{
	char *text;
	char str[]="here i am";

	if (strcasecmp(data, "b1") == 0)
	{
		temp = XtMalloc (sizeof(str));
		temp[sizeof(str)] = 0	;	/* null terminator */
		XmTextSetString (w, text);
		XtFree (text);
	}

}

This is my adaptation of Heller's example 15-2 file browser.c
program. The cbfunc is based on read_file.


The dialog is created and the default text is drawn, but when the b1
is pressed, I get a core dump and dbx zeros in on the
XmTextSetString call.

Any ideas on how to beat this?

--thanks in advance, steve
