I would like to be able to customize the behavior of twm menus (i.e.,
those defined in my .twmrc) so that:

	one button press will pop up the menu (& the corresponding
	button release is ignored)

	another button press will select the item under the pointer &
	deexpose the menu

I find that the default depress-drag-release sequence is rather
unwieldy for long menus; besides, my application uses the above
behavior for all its popup menus.  So, can this be done with twm, and
how?

Thanks,
