	Subject: Menus in Xview

	 I have been attempting to port some sunview programs to Xview and
	 have had some mild success, however, I have a program which uses 
	 several of the menu widgets from Xview and I cannot get it to work
	 when I attempt to pop up the menu with a menu_show I get this 
	 error message :

	 XView warning: menu_show: menu not owned by this server (Command Menu package)


at a glance, it seems to me that menus in XView need to be parented
to a server object (the default server is used if you specify XV_NULL
as the parent to xv_create() ).  I suspect your error was to parent a 
menu to a canvas object.

hope this helps,

rick
