Often "P" means private.  This header file (XawImP.h) declares the
resource names used for input-methods that would use Xaw(3d).  Generally
resource names are in a "public" header; without those the library is less
useful.  This header declares private functions as well, and there is
no "public" version of the header file, probably because only the resource
names would comprise its contents.  X headers are not always consistent -
keyboard stuff is an example...  Take a look at the Shell[IP].h variations
as well.

All of the other resource names defined by Xaw are in "public" headers.

Likewise, fixing the problem by moving the #define's (into a newly created
"public" XawIm.h) won't help existing applications that use the headers.
Compatibility is always an issue.
