| For example, to put up a button2 menu, put your pointer where you want
it and do a CTRL-F3 followed by hitting the ``insert-here''.

Hi Dave .... how's southern Cal????
To answer your question, yes there's a way to do it. Use Control/F3
to toggle the mouse/keboard. At this point you use the arrow keys
to move the mouse around. Move the mouse to the menu you want to
pull down and then use the FIND key to bring the menu up.

No,no... Use UTOX. It has a /PAUSE switch specifically for this..

| Yes, UTOX is the way to go. With the CTRL F3, FIND method
you lose the use of your pointer (you can't move it off the
pulldown or it will snap back up). In UTOX you just
type "$ utox/delay=5 node::0". Then you've got 5 seconds
to pull down the menu and get things set up before it takes
the picture and puts in on your screen. Now you have the
flexibility of using your mouse to "cut" out portions of
the screen and maybe print that section or create a postscript
file that you can include into documentation.

Just have someone there holding down the mouse button. This is what I
do to get photos of the screen. Or is this too simple?

Steve, that was funny ;-)
Motif has pulldown menus that will stay on the screen without
having to call your grandmother for help ;-)
Probably, the most elegant implementation of menus for this
kind of work, is Sun's 'push-pin' menus - This menu widget
is provided with OpenLook/XView; it allows the user to move
the menu system to anywhere on the screen or workspace. Very
clever indeed. The Xview kit is somewhere in the 'pub' direct-
ories on DECWRL. Any takers, to clone this for DECwindows?

| An easy way to do it on VMS is to start the application from a terminal,
pull down the menu, go back to the terminal and hit Crtl/Y. The menu can stay
down *forever*...
