DESCRIPTION
     XmInternAtom  returns an atom for a given name.  It mirrors the Xlib inter-
     faces for atom management, but  provides  client-side  caching.   When  and
     where  caching is provided in Xlib, the routines will become pseudonyms for
     the Xlib routines.

     name      Specifies the name associated with the atom you want returned

     only_if_exists

               ates the atom
