I've had the same Problem some time ago, but I gave it up.
However, it should not be to complicated.
On PC Platforms, the Module Bitmaps serves to store the Background before
drawing a Popup Menu. But for example on MacOberon, the Background is
copied to the secondary Display instead. You may compare the implementations
of PopupElems for Mac and PC to get the difference.
If you omit all the calls to Bitmaps.Mod everything should work, except 
the restoring of the Background. You may implement this like it is done
in PopupElems for Mac or Ceres, of wich the Source is available at
ftp.inf.ethz.ch in the file V4Elems.tar.Z or something the like.

Ciao,
