DESCRIPTION
       The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified applica
       tion 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
