I have just realised that I encountered the Destroy/Delete distinction in
the context of documentation on the Ctwm window manager and jumped to the
conclusion that the same terminology is used by motif, or the pop11
interface to motif.

I  had no basis for that conclusion, so it may be the case that even if the
distinction (delete=remove window from display, destroy=kill the whole
process) is used by motif, the terminology may be different and the same
applies to poplog code interfacing to motif.

So even if the distinction between the two concepts is the key to poplog
motif problems, searching for those two keywords in the poplog code may not
identify what needs to be changed... alas!

Does anyone know if this terminology is also used by motif?
