WordPerfect Mac seems to me to have solved the problems behind all
complaints about pop-up menus.  If you select just the item that has
a popup menu, and release the mouse button, the original menu disappears
and in its place, the popup is shown pulled down, making it extremely
easy for the user to "hit the target" of the menu item s/he wishes to
select.  I'd be interested in any strong objections to this solution
of popup menu items being difficult to select.
