    "As of version 2.1 Motif supports Unicode, which has made it

I don't know whether lesstif supports that or not.

I am reasonably good at diving into large bundles of source code and
getting to the bottom of them.  I once tried that with lesstif and
got exactly nowhere.

I sort of doubt it.

In lesstif or nedit? If it was nedit, patch please :-).
