I have a question as someone whose experience is mostly with using Athena Widgets and the MIT XToolkit. I have an application where I need to generate Popup menus on the fly. The contributed MenuBox widget on the Release 3 tape works perfectly except that when I pop up a menu, the selections in it don't select. If I create menus before realizing the top-level-shell, they work fine. I was wondering if anyone could give me a few hints about where to dig into this from the perspective of the toolkit. I know the basics about translation-tables and action-tables, but I can't think of what else to do. Is there anyway I can (at run-time) look at what translations and actions are attached to a widget ? Does this make any sense :-) --chris Never hit a man with glasses.

I have an application where I need to generate Popup
menus on the fly. The contributed MenuBox widget on the
Release 3 tape works perfectly except that when I pop up a
menu, the selections in it don't select.
If I create menus before realizing the top-level-shell,
they work fine.
Sounds like a bug, probably in MenuBox, but if you'll send us some
code to reproduce the problem we'll have a look.
