I was talking to a someone(a c person) the other day about how he did his
pop up menu for his application; I figured it was something new appearance
manager supported but I from what he tells me it's "just a standard
control".

He went on to mention how this has been an easy thing to implement since
system 7.0, that there were no pop up menus in 6.0.x and you had to use
cdefs in that case.

Now I really don't mind that the Popup menu code for regular fb projects
off the staz site is kind of re-inventing the wheel, and in fact, it works
and looks great (mostly) under a system 7.0 environment.

However, under appearance manager/8.0 it looks like it just doesn't fit
with the standard way of doing things; it looks like I hand coded a custom
routine(which doesn't look that great next to appearance manager in my
opinion)...

But I'm not looking to be system 6.0 compatible for this particular
project; so, can anybody tell me where I can find the routines for making
MacOS standard pop up menus?
