I was wrong about the interface to the trap.  I got the left and top
parameters switched.  The top parameter comes first.  The correct
parameters are in the MPW interface files.

The reason why I was confused is that I was writing a custom menu defproc.
In order to support popup menus, custom defprocs have to respond to a new
message in order to tell the Menu Manager where to place the popup.

It turns out that the hitPt, which is passed to the defproc, is interpreted
differently for this message; the h & v coordinates are switched.
Naturally, this made the menu appear in the wrong place, but switching the
parameters to PopupMenuSelect made it appear in the correct place.
