DESCRIPTION
XmTextFieldPosToXY accesses the x and y position, relative to the upper left corner of the TextField widget, of a given character position
in the text buffer.
widget Specifies the TextField widget ID
position Specifies the character position in the text for which the x and y position is accessed. This is an integer number of characters
from the beginning of the buffer. The first character position is 0.
