Hi netters;
  I have an Iris Indigo with the Xlib, Xt and Xmotif tools on it.
I'm trying to write an application that creates one big parent
window and a bunch of children windows that can move around inside of it,
but not move outside. In other words, I want the child windows to 
respect the borders of the parent, and if the parent is shrunk, I want
the children to be clipped.

  I have been using Adrian Nye's book on Xt/Motif programming and
set up the app using his topLevel and mainWindow method, but I can't
seem to find a way of using forms or RowColumn widgets to bind the
children to the parent. Any ideas?

P.S. Nye's book is volume 4 of the great X11 series.

the work leaves the author's decade old text editor via his decade old Amiga, 
struggles through a local 1200 baud Merit server to be further mauled via the 
remote VAX mail servers) is someone elses problem - namely yours.
