Hi,

   I am trying to convert a program I wrote using X11R3 to X11R4. The major
change necessary is the use of the SimpleMenu rather than the "box full of
buttons" that I used previously.

   The development is occuring on a Sun4 under SunOS 4.0.3 with X11R4 (patches
1-9 applied).

   The following is some of the code used for the menu:
   
/* part of translation table for a viewport widget */
<Btn3Down>:XawPositionSimpleMenu(menu) MenuPopup(menu)\n\

/* menu is created statically */
menuW = XtCreatePopupShell("menu",simpleMenuWidgetClass,toplevel,NULL,0);

newW = XtCreateManagedWidget("new",smeBSBObjectClass,menuW,newargs,
                               XtNumber(newargs));
/* plus a few more entries */


/* used in creation of the menu entry above */
static XtCallbackRec newcallback[] = {
  {select_new,"new"},
  {NULL,NULL},
};

static Arg newargs[] = {
  {XtNlabel,(XtArgVal)"New"},
  {XtNcallback,(XtArgVal)newcallback},
};


When I run the program (BTW,its a graphical editor for soliton circuits)
everything goes along fine until I try and popup the menu. I press the 3rd
button and sure enough the menu pops up right under the cursor. However I
cannot highlight any entries which of course means I cannot select any
entries. 

Any help would be appreciated.
