NAME
       XmTextFindString -- A Text function that finds the beginning position
       of a text string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       Boolean XmTextFindString(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition start,
       char *string,
       XmTextDirection direction,
       XmTextPosition *position);

DESCRIPTION
       XmTextFindString locates the beginning position of a specified text
       string. This routine searches forward or backward for the first
       occurrence of the string starting from the given start position.  If it
       finds a match, the function returns the position of the first character
       of the string in position.  If the match string begins at the current
       position, this routine returns the current position.

       widget    Specifies the Text widget ID.

       start     Specifies the character position from which the search
                 proceeds. This is an integer number of characters from the
                 beginning of the text buffer. The first character position is
                 0 (zero).

       string    Specifies the search string.

       direction Indicates the search direction. It is relative to the primary
                 direction of the text. The possible values are

                 XmTEXT_FORWARD
                           The search proceeds toward the end of the text
                           buffer.

                 XmTEXT_BACKWARD
                           The search proceeds toward the beginning of the
                           text buffer.

       position  Specifies the pointer in which the first character position
                 of the string match is returned. This is an integer number of
                 characters from the beginning of the buffer. The first
                 character position is 0 (zero). If the function returns
                 False, this value is undefined.

RETURN
       Returns True if a string match is found; otherwise, returns False.
