Is it possible to retrieve text from an application whose widget handles are unknown?

I guess this leads to another question, is it possible to get the widget handles of an application if the only information is the obvious stuff (in the window's title bar)?

The user needs to fill in some textfields on my dtksh/motif generated form, and some of the information comes from a separate application in what appears to be a text widget. I'd like to extract this info and put it into my form so as to avoid user error and frustration.

Is this possible to accomplish with in a dtksh script alone?
