There are man pages for the Athena widgets in the Standard edition of
Volume Four, Xt Intrinsics Programming Manual.
However, the R5 version is not quite out.  It will be in March.

As for a tutorial for how to use them, vol 4 covers some of the
widgets, but not all of them, and not to the depth of Vol 6.
The R5 version will have a little more coverage of some common
issues, such as how to make a Text widget operate as a TextField.
But as far as I know, there is no tutorial available that really
goes into detail about how to use each Athena widget effectively.
