1785.0. "Create pop-up menu when scan across item in pulldown menu" by HANDVA::RICHARDCHAN () Sun Nov 26 1989 23:20

	I would like to ask how I should declare in uil file so that

	o	I can create a pulldown menu
	o	When I select one item in the pulldown menu and and then
		move the mouse pointer to the right edge of the selected
		item, another pop-up menu with a list of choice occurs.
	o	I can press a Control key to invoke a function rather than
		entering a lot of menu and then select that function using
		mouse pointer.

	The situation is like you want to select DELETE in the EDIT menu
	in DECwrite. How I can create the symbol "[->" in the right side
	of DELETE item.

	I can think that there is object main_window which has control of menu
	bar which in turn has control pulldown_entry which in turn has controls
	pulldown_menu and which should control what?
	
	Thanks very much in advance!

Pull-right menu is the word you're loogin for.
