2. Next I installed the neXtaw library (into the default location
generated by xmkmf) and the header files ended up in
/usr/X11R6/include/neXtaw.
I can submit a patch to search in `Xaw*/' for headers, but I don't know
if that is the right thing(tm) to do. I think that Athena headers are
supposed to be accessed as <X11/Xaw/*> and all...

3. (Off topic) OK, now I have this XEmacs with this spiffier
scrollbar
- is it possible to get this to scroll by more than one line? This
seems like the most feeble (and slowest) scrollbar I've ever used;
why would I want it?
Actually, when I read this I went and tried it and, yes, you are right.
The repeat behavior is /awful/. So, I sent a patch off to Mr Kojima just
now, making the initial delay and repeat rate configurable with
resources.
If you want the patch, I will send it to y'all. I mostly wanted neXtaw
because the rest of my system looks as much like neXtaw as possible...
