NAME
  XtAppCreateShell, XtVaAppCreateShell - create top-level widget instance

SYNOPSIS
  Widget XtAppCreateShell(application_name, application_class, widget_class,
  display, args, num_args)
	  String application_name;
	  String application_class;
	  WidgetClass widget_class;
	  Display *display;
	  ArgList args;
	  Cardinal num_args;

  Widget XtVaAppCreateShell(application_name, application_class,
  widget_class, display, ...)
	  String application_name;
	  String application_class;
	  WidgetClass widget_class;
	  Display *display;

ARGUMENTS
  application_name
      Specifies the name of the application instance.

  application_class
      Specifies the class name of this application.

  widget_class
      Specifies the widget class that the application top-level widget should
      be.

  display
      Specifies the display from which to get the resources.

  args
      Specifies the argument list from which to get the resources.

  num_args
      Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

  ... Specifies the variable argument list from which to get the resources.

DESCRIPTION
  The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified application name and
  application class for qualifying all widget resource specifiers. The
  application name and application class are used as the left-most components
  in all widget resource names for this application.  XtAppCreateShell should
  be used to create a new logical application within a program or to create a
  shell on another display. In the first case, it allows the specification of
  a new root in the resource hierarchy. In the second case, it uses the
  resource database associated with the other display.

  Note that the widget returned by XtAppCreateShell has the WM_COMMAND
  property set for session managers (see Chapter 4).
