     NAME
          XmTextReplace - A Text function that replaces part of a text
          string

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Text.h>
          void XmTextReplace(
          Widget widget,
          XmTextPosition from_pos,
          XmTextPosition to_pos,
          char * value);

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          XmTextReplace replaces part of the text string in the Text
          widget. The character positions begin at 0 (zero) and are
          numbered sequentially from the beginning of the text.

          An example text replacement would be to replace the second
          and third characters in the text string. To accomplish this,
          the parameter from_pos must be 1 and to_pos must be 3. To
          insert a string after the fourth character, both parameters,
          from_posand to_pos, must be 4.

          This routine calls the widget's XmNvalueChangedCallback and
          verification callbacks, either XmNmodifyVerifyCallback or
          XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs, or both. If both verification
          callback lists are registered, the procedures of the
          XmNmodifyVerifyCallback list are executed first and the
          resulting data is passed to the XmNmodifyVerifyCallbackWcs
          callbacks.  The XmNmotionVerifyCallback is generated if
          to_pos is less than or equal to the cursor position and the
          length of value is not the same as the length of the text
          being replaced, or if the cursor position is between
          from_pos and to_pos, and the distance from the cursor
          position to from_pos is greater than the length of value.

          widget    Specifies the Text widget ID

          from_pos  Specifies the start position of the text to be
                    replaced

          to_pos    Specifies the end position of the text to be
                    replaced

          value     Specifies the character string value to be added
                    to the text widget
