  Read the fellow's post.  OS/2 and Windows *can* do it *exactly* the
way MacOS does it.  If you click a menu and hold down the button, then
when you release the button the menu will disappear.  If you release
the button while over a menu entry, you will choose that menu entry.
Or you can do the other thing - click the menu and let it hang around
while you make your selection.
