Try this method instead, if you want to add a whole bunch of items to the
popup list before you start using it (this is from the tech docs under
PopUpList):

    - addItem:(const char *)title

    Adds the item with the name title to the PopUpList.  The newly
    added cell is returned.  The new item is added to the end of the list.
