I have a question as someone whose experience is mostly
with using Athena Widgets and the MIT XToolkit.
I have an application where I need to generate Popup
menus on the fly.  The contributed MenuBox widget on the
Release 3 tape works perfectly except that when I pop up a
menu, the selections in it don't select.

If I create menus before realizing the top-level-shell,
they work fine.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a few hints about
where to dig into this from the perspective of the toolkit.

I know the basics about translation-tables and action-tables,
but I can't think of what else to do.

Is there anyway I can (at run-time) look at what translations and actions
are attached to a widget ?

Does this make any sense :-)
