There are several ways to do this. The simplest is to just use a push button
widget to display your text.

How does that answer my question? Which widget will do this for me?

But can this appear seamless? I have an XmLabel that reads

"blah blah blah. Click here: http://blach.foo.com"

I want the URL to be underlined and to appear ti be a seamless part of the
text. Can a pushbutton be placed that way adjacent to the XmLabel?

If it's text that causes an action when clicked, then it's a PushButton,
not a label. You will have less problems adapting the look of a PB than
changing the actions of a label! Basically, set the ShadowThickness to
zero, and change the background color to that of the containing widget.

Why not use the convention common in broswers, ie underlined blue text?

Ok. That seems to work fine. If I don't want Motif to show focus for this
button/label, can I just turn off traversal? Or will that also not allow me
to click on it with the mouse?

I know how to change the color. But how do I make it underlined?

I dunno. If you try, tell us!

See man XmRenderTable for an example of altering the underline style on
a label, and man XmRendition for the list of available underline style.
