> Does anyone have an example of this with olwm?

     I'm afraid that I don't have any olwm examples.  However, here is
an UNTESTED example for twm:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Button1 =      : root    : f.menu "button1"

menu "button1"
{
"Emacs Utilities"	f.title
"-------------"		f.nop
"Read mail"		!"gnudoit '(mh-rmail)' &"
}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This defines a single menu pick called "Read mail", which uses the
Emacs MH facilities to read mail.  It's quite easy to define
hierarchical pop-up menus for Emacs this way.

     Something similar for mwm would be (please, no flames about
non-free software -- I don't have access to olwm, and so I can't give
olwm examples):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu emacs_menu
{
    "Root Menu"		f.title
	""		f.separator
    "Read mail"		f.exec "gnudoit '(mh-rmail)' &"
}

#
# Must have a line like the following in .Xdefaults:
#
#	Mwm*buttonBindings:			MainButtonBindings
#
Buttons MainButtonBindings
{
    <Btn1Down>		root				f.menu emacs_menu
    #
    # etc., etc.
    #
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     All this does assume that you have gnuclient (gnuserv) installed on
your system.
