OSF/Motif
NAME
  XmTextSetSource - A Text function that sets the source of the widget

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Xm/Text.h>

  void XmTextSetSource (widget, source, top_character, cursor_position)
	  Widget widget;
	  XmTextSource source;
	  XmTextPosition top_character;
	  XmTextPosition cursor_position;

DESCRIPTION
  XmTextSetSource sets the source of the Text widget.  Text widgets can share
  sources of text so that editing in one widget is reflected in another.
  This function sets the source of one widget so that it can share the source
  of another widget.

  Setting a new text source destroys the old text source if no other Text
  widgets are using that source. To replace a text source but keep it for
  later use, create an unmanaged Text widget and set its source to the text
  source you want to keep.

  widget
      Specifies the Text widget ID

  source
      Specifies the source with which the widget displays text.	 This can be
      a value returned by the XmTextGetSource(3X) function.  If no source is
      specified, the widget creates a default string source.

  top_character
      Specifies the position in the text to display at the top of the widget.
      This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text
      buffer.  The first character position is 0.

  cursor_position
      Specifies the position in the text at which the insert cursor is
      located.	This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of
      the text buffer.	The first character position is 0.
