; NAME:
;       XBB
; PURPOSE:
;       Widget bill board utility for text display.
; CATEGORY:
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       xbb
; INPUTS:
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
;       Keywords:
;        LINES=txt  Text array of initial lines to display.
;        RES=RES    Specified array of reserved line numbers.
;          Top line is number 0.
;        NID=nid    Returned widget IDs of reserved lines.
;        WID=wid    Returned xbb widget ID so this widget may
;          be destroyed at a later time.
;        TITLE=tt   Optional title text (def=none).
;        GROUP_LEADER=grp  specified group leader.  When the
;          group leader widget is destroyed this widget is also.
; OUTPUTS:
; COMMON BLOCKS:
; NOTES:
;       Notes: this utility is useful for displaying varying
;         text such as a status update and so on.  It is designed
;         to be positioned somewhere out of the way by the user
;         It is initialized to display some specified lines of text
;         and one or more lines are requested as reserved.  The
;         widget IDs of the requested reserved lines are returned
;         and are used to update the corresponding lines.  When
;         this widget is no longer needed it may be destroyed.
;         Once created the widget width is fixed.  Use something
;         like a line of dashes to set the initial width (spaces
;         do not work as well).
