Answer:  For the most up-to-date links to Motif/X11/Xt tutorials, see:

        http://www.cen.com/mw3/code.html
        MW3: Code Examples and Tutorials
and
        http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.html#Xtutorials
        On-line X programming tutorials (Kenton Lee's multi-lingual links)


See http://www.cm.cf.ac.uk/Dave/X_lecture/X_lecture.html
for a hypertext Motif tutorial (by David Marshall) with source code and
illustrations.

Marshall Brain at brain@adm.csc.ncsu.edu posted a set of simple and useful
Motif tutorials at http://www.iftech.com/ .

Jan Borchers <job@ira.uka.de> writes about his Xmtutor:

A free version of "Xmtutor", a menu-driven Motif application that contains an
interactive tutorial about programming with Motif with many executable
examples, is available via anonymous ftp.  (Thanks to Allen Fogleson
(foggie@dtx.net) and Thomas Madeya (madeya@ira.uka.de) for the updates.) The
exact version varies, so look in the directory:

        ftp://ftp.vse.cz/pub/386-unix/linux/freeware_for_motif/motif-tutor/xmtutor-1.3/
or:
        ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/X11/programming/

Xmtutor is very useful to learn Motif easier than with a book, and it is a
convenient Quick Reference and resource-settings testbed for Motif application
developers.

It has been tested on SUN Sparcs (SunOS 4.1) and DEC Alphas (OSF/1 1.3a), but
should be working OK on most other Unix / X11R4/R5 / Motif 1.1/1.2 systems.

The demo version contains all the information to get you started with Motif,
and upon registration, which costs 49 DM, you get the complete tutorial,
describing all widgets, other topics such as inter-client communication,
Compound Strings, etc., as well as a formatted TeX file of the tutorial to
print out, which gives you a complete book about Motif.
