I got an answer via e-mail very quickly to my posting.  Unfortunately,
I didn't save the writer's name or address, but it was one of the
authors of a program called Nisus.  In case anyone else wants to do
this, the answer is:  MenuSelect or PopUpMenuSelect can be aborted
simply by posting a mouseUp event from MenuHook.  It will terminate as
soon as it sees a mouseUp in the queue; it will not wait for the Button
routine to return false.  Of course, this makes perfect sense, since
the mouse could have been clicked again already.  So there is no need
for a trap patch on Button.

Thanks to my correspondent for providing this information.
