  Horrible hack idea #3 for PopUpMenus:
	SetFunction CloseWindow() and related functions and make sure
	the current Window structure doesn't get pulled out from
	beneath our feet while were diddling with it.


  I made a comment in c.s.a.programmer about PopUpMenus being buggy.
Well I FTPed the newest version to see it it was fixed. It worked for
5 hours and after posting the last msg, I hit F1 to zoom one of my
Conman windows and got a guru (8109 I believe). I'm not touching
PopUpMenu for a long time. My Amiga was GURUless for about 3 weeks.
(The only time I ever get GURUs is when trying out PD hacks, or
when I'm programming[caused by me])

  PopUpMenu's is a nice hack, but something like this should be done at
the OS level.

In the spirit of Mike S.
