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 omitted 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
