Two of my students would appreciate adivce on a problem they describe as 
follows:

"We are working on a desk accessory that will speak the menu choice on a
mouse event.  I would like to know how to get the English text of the menu
and the menu choice (whichever the cursor was over) on mouseDOWN.

"Secondly, my DA does not have a window.  Thus I would like to close the DA
with the appropriate choice from the menu the DA creates.  I've tried to call
my Close(Device) routine, when that menu item was chosen, but that did not
work.  What will work?"

Thanks for the help.
