Couldn't be easier really, when responding to wimp_poll button press (number 6 I think)
check that the icon was the menu icon (by comparing window handle and icon number) and
then call the menu display procedure.. simple! Once the user has clicked an option
you will get the option number back in Wimp_Poll 9. With desktop programs no question
is too ridiculous!
