[gnu.emacs] Can I use pop-up menus in gnumacs

mgh@intelob.intel.com (Mike Heavin) (03/10/89)

I used to use the Unipress Emacs editor (bite my tongue).  One of the features
I liked was the ability to create pop-up menus from which I could select an
item that was, in turn, mapped to some emacs command.  I can't seem to find
anything like that in gnumacs?

Any suggestions?

That's OK, so long as you say it in the past tense :-)

Try getting prep.ai.mit.edu:/u/emacs/oldXMenu.tar.Z, which lets you
turn on HAVE_X_MENU in src/config.h and bind pop-up menus to X11
<ctrl><shift>button combinations like in lisp/x-menu.el.

Does anybody have some examples using the menu library?  The
documentation is rather sparse.  Thanks in advance.
