From Motif 1.1 Programmer's Reference:
    XmNmenuPost expects type String.

    XmNmenuPost
        Specifies an X event description indicating an event that posts a menu 
        system ....

You will specify this resource to pop up a menu with the left mouse button in   
UIL as:

    object
        someMenu : XmPopupMenu {
            arguments {
                XmNmenuPost = "<Btn1Down>";
            };
            ........


Hope this helps.
