I am porting a program from an Apollo environment to SunView, and would
like to have a compatibility mode which looks and works as close to the
original as posssible.  The Apollo version of the program has buttons on
its window which activate its menu trees.  The panel item menu
capabilities mentioned in the SunView programming manual are inadequate
for my purposes, because pullrights don't seem to be allowed.  Is there
any way to attach a generic menu to a panel button so that when the button
is pushed, the menu pops up?
