- Is there any way to do pop-up menus in hypercard, either with an XCMD or some

- There are several XFCNs that do pop-up menus. IMO, the best one is the
- FullHPopup that comes with the Rinaldi externals. I recently looked at
- the corresponding ones that come in the developer's stack and the
- Dartmouth XCMD stack, but neither of these was flexible enough for my
- application. In particular, both of them assumed that you could have
- zero or one items checked in the pop-up menu. What I wanted was to
- put up a menu that would allow you to add/subtract membership in a
- number of lists by selecting the name of the list. The check marks
- were used to indicate to which lists the card already belonged.
-
- The Rinaldi version also supports hierarchical menus.
