	I have some popup-menu routines that I wrote last May.  They take
an Intuition menuitem list, and will render a menu on the screen that looks
nearly identical to a real Intuition menu, except that they don't crash if
they are too big, and they don't have to be attached to the menubar.  If a
user brings up the menu too close to an edge, the menu will be 'slid' over
to fit on the screen.  It supports images, multiple intuitext's, and
disabled items.  I have tried all kinds of things, like 2-d arrays of items,
long intuitext's, etc. and all thus far have worked.  NOTE: my routines
do not yet handle mutual exclusion, or checkitems, but someone could add
them if they wish (the code is well commented).  The code is reentrant, and
would be a perfect addition to someone's library.  
	Mail me if you want them, and if there are too many responses, I will
post them.  If anyone has any suggestions for posting places, then please
let me know.
