I'm using the Athena widgets in an X application, and I'm having some trouble
with the text widget.  I would like to display some text in the widget, and
subsequently change the text from time to time.  It doesn't like it when
I try to change XtNstring, and if I directly change the string that
XtNstring refers to, nothing happens.  Does anyone know the right thing
to do?
