NAME
     XtAppCreateShell - create top-level widget instance

SYNTAX
     Widget XtAppCreateShell(application_name, application_class,
     widget_class, display,
                             args, num_args)
           String application_name;
           String application_class;
           WidgetClass widget_class;
           Display *display;
           ArgList args;
           Cardinal num_args;

ARGUMENTS
     application_class
               Specifies the class name of this application.

     application_name
               Specifies the name of the application instance.

     args      Specifies the argument list in which to set in the WM_COMMAND
               property.

     display   Specifies the display from which to get the resources.

     num_args  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

     widget_class
               Specifies the widget class that the application top-level
               widget should be.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified application name and
     application class for qualifying all widget resource specifiers.  The
     application name and application class are used as the left-most
     components in all widget resource names for this application.
     XtAppCreateShell should be used to create a new logical application
     within a program or to create a shell on another display.  In the first
     case, it allows the specification of a new root in the resource
     hierarchy.  In the second case, it uses the resource database associated
     with the other display.

     Note that the widget returned by XtAppCreateShell has the WM_COMMAND
     property set for session managers (see Chapter 4).
