I have a question regarding the possible use of a window for
input and output.  I do not want to spawn another shell with xterm,
I merely want to be able to open up a window from which I can
read input given from the keyboard and be able to output responses
on the window.  Xtext will allow me to write into a window but
allows no provisions for reading keyboard input.  Is there 
a function(s) that will make this easy or will it be necessary
for me to write a new one?  (obviously I will be writing a 
program using this).  Thanks
