336) Can I use the newline character in widget names?

[Last modified: Mar 96]

Answer: No.  Widget names are designed to be used in resource specifications.
The Xlib resource file syntax says the only alphanumeric characters (plus '-'
and '_') may be used in a resource component name.  If you want more than one
line of text in a label widget, set the XmNlabelString resource.
