Hi Corona,
Thank for your time but i already know how do the associativ array works.
In fact i was refering and wondering about to the "collating" notation mentionned
here
it says
"A collating symbol is a multi-character sequence that should be treated as a unit"
so if
[.my_word.] is more or less processed the same way as
/my_word/ , i don't see the added value of this specific notation so i was wondering what is behind
"treated as a unit" ...
So if someone has a good example of a context in which such notation is necessary, i would be glad to have a look at it, because i think i miss something here.

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
int XmConvertUnits (widget, orientation, from_unit_type, from_value, to_unit_type)
Widget widget;
int orientation;
int from_unit_type;
int from_value;
int to_unit_type;
DESCRIPTION
XmConvertUnits converts the value and returns it as the return value from the function. Specifies the widget for which the data is to be
converted Specifies whether the converter uses the horizontal or vertical screen resolution when performing the conversions. orientation
can have values of XmHORIZONTAL or XmVERTICAL. Specifies the current unit type of the supplied value Specifies the value to be converted
Converts the value to the unit type specified
The parameters from_unit_type and to_unit_type can have the following values: XmPIXELS--all values provided to the widget are treated as
normal pixel values. This is the default for the resource. Xm100TH_MILLIMETERS--all values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100
millimeter. Xm1000TH_INCHES--all values provided to the widget are treated as 1/1000 inch. Xm100TH_POINTS--all values provided to the
