     NAME
          XmCreateScrolledText-The TextScrolledText convenience
          creation function

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Text.h>

          Widget XmCreateScrolledText (parent, name, arglist, argcount)
               Widget    parent;
               String    name;
               ArgList   arglist;
               Cardinal  argcount;


     DESCRIPTION
          XmCreateScrolledText creates an instance of a Text widget
          that is contained within a ScrolledWindow.  All
          ScrolledWindow subarea widgets are automatically created by
          this function. The ID returned by this function is that of
          the Text widget.  Use this ID for all normal Text
          operations, as well as those that are relevant for the
          ScrolledText widget.

          The Text widget defaults to single-line text edit;
          therefore, no ScrollBars are displayed.  The Text resource
          XmNeditMode must be set to XmMULTILINEEDIT to display the
          ScrollBars.  The results of placing a Text widget inside a
          ScrolledWindow when the Text's XmNeditMode is
          XmSINGLELINEEDIT are undefined.

          All arguments to either the Text or the ScrolledWindow
          widget can be specified at creation time using this
          function.  Changes to initial position and size are sent
          only to the ScrolledWindow widget.  Other resources are sent
          to the Text or the ScrolledWindow widget as appropriate.

          This function forces the following initial values for
          ScrolledWindow resources:


            ⊕  XmNscrollingPolicy is set to XmAPPLICATIONDEFINED.

            ⊕  XmNvisualPolicy is set to XmVARIABLE.

            ⊕  XmNscrollBarDisplayPolicy is set to XmSTATIC.

            ⊕  XmNshadowThickness is set to 0.


          To obtain the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget associated
          with the ScrolledText, use the Xt Intrinsics XtParent
          function.  The name of the ScrolledWindow created by this
