I *think* I've got it working the way I would like it to work
(again...close enough!)

Within Microsoft environments, if the user right-mouse-clicks on an
icon, the bare desktop, a window title bar, etc., a context-sensitive
menu list appears. The user can either select one of the items
in the list, or left-mouse-click anywhere else to dismiss the menu.

I've done something similar by creating my pop-up menu with
tlb_frame_attr=31 and enabling /kbrd_focus_events for the top-level
base. In the pop-up's event loop, I look for a WIDGET_KBRD_FOCUS
event and check the "enter" field of the event structure for 0.
If that happens, I simply destroy the top-level base. Otherwise,
I wait for the user to select an item from the menu and process
the selection accordingly.

Not as pretty as a Microsoft application, but it seems to meet
my needs for what I'm doing.

Thanks,
