   When you receive a mouse click on the arrow icon use Wimp_CreateMenu to
generate the menu as you do for menu mouse clicks.

   These are pane windows. A pane window is one that is associated strongly
to another window that it should move when the other window moves and be
closed when the other window is etc... These require a certain amount of
work to be done by your application to implement. Have a hunt through the
PRMs looking for the word 'pane' should help.

   Not a worry. We all start somewhere...
