Suppose that the XmNtopCharacter resource has been set to a value greater than the number of characters in the text widget. In this case, XmTextGetTopCharacter returns an XmTextPosition value identifying the position of the first character in the last line of text in a multiline case; otherwise, it identifies the position of the last character in the line.
