Can someone point me to the documwentation on how definitions are
standardized? For example in C there is a define for XtNHints. This
is put together from Xt N and Hints. Xt comes from the facility
being used, N comes from where? and what things are defined in
this location (N,S,R... ), and Hints being the item being defined.
I need something similar for VAX bindings.

Unfortunatley the defintions for the naming convntions used tend
to be scattered through the MIT documentation (Vol 3 of the UWS
documentation in another incarnation).
Here're some:
XtN... Named Resource (.e., just its name)
XtR... Resource type
XtC... Resource class
XtCFont (notice uppercase 'F') refers to a class of widget resource
called Font. XtNfontBold and XtNfontRoman (notice lowercase 'f')
might be two instances of a resource of class Font. XtR....would
specify the type of the resource.
As far as the VAX bindings go..... me UNIX, no speack VMS so well.
Sorry,
Ron
