I'm posting this for a friend - it should be an easy one for someone
out there...

On SGI machines, the window mangler uses right mouse as the
"menu button".  It is possible to put up a menu with the left mouse,
by calling dopup, but dopup won't return until the RIGHT button is
pressed.

[ dopup = do popup, and is the graphics library interface to the NeWS
  litemenus ]

So what is needed is a way to temporarily make leftmouse be the
MenuButton during the duration of the dopup.

This is easy, right?
