_________________________________________________________________

NAME
     tk_popup - Post a popup menu

SYNOPSIS
     tk_popup menu x y ?entry?
_________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
     This procedure posts a menu  at  a  given  position  on  the
     screen  and  configures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded
     children can be traversed with the mouse  or  the  keyboard.
     Menu  is  the name of a menu widget and x and y are the root
     coordinates at which to display the menu.  If entry is omit-
     ted  or  an  empty  string,  the menu's upper left corner is
     positioned at the given point.  Otherwise  entry  gives  the
     index of an entry in menu and the menu will be positioned so
     that the entry is positioned over the given point.

EXAMPLE
     How to attach a simple popup menu to a widget.
          # Create a menu
          set m [menu .popupMenu]
          $m add command -label "Example 1" -command bell
          $m add command -label "Example 2" -command bell

          # Create something to attach it to
          pack [label .l -text "Click me!"]

          # Arrange for the menu to pop up when the label is clicked
          bind .l <1> {tk_popup .popupMenu %X %Y}
