Setting the xterm to the foreground is not much of a help, as
it just covers up part of the widget. As for using a text
widget, that is what I would really like to do. The main program
is calling a bunch of distinct subroutines that are already
written and being used for other things. They were designed
for use at the command line, and use print or message,/info
statements to provide feedback to the user. Now when I
call them from my widget routine, their messages naturally
are displayed in the xterm as normal. What I really want is
someway to either redirect all STDOUT output to a text widget,
or else to a string array which I could then continuously dump
to a text widget. Unfortunately, I don't think anything like
this exists.

The only way I see of getting what I want is to make separate
versions of all the subroutines I call, which are designed to
display their output to a text widget. That is not a very
attractive prospect, and if it is the only option, I'll
probably just be content to have to switch back and forth
between the xterm and the top widget.
