I'm just getting started using motif and with the documentation am having
a difficult time getting started.  Perhaps some knowlegeable types out there
could lend some advice about a particular simple problem.

I want to have a window, forget about resizing/exposing considerations.
In the window I want to draw a box with Xlib calls.  Inside the box I want
to draw two rectangular figures with Xlib calls.  I would then like a pop-up
menu to be associated with a mouse depression over each rectangular figure.
No scrolling of the window is necessary.

Which Xm calls to use?  It seems that a mainwindow, with a rowcolumn inside
and using XmCreatePopupMenu() inside the rowcolumn would be appropriate.
But can you draw with Xlib inside a mainwindow and a rowcolumn?  Is some
other structure more appropriate?  What args needs to be set in each
XmCreateXxx()?  How do you specify your particular popup menu?
