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.

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

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.
