I have created some libraries for creating pop-up and
pull-down menus in Epoch. The menus are just additional
Epoch screens which contain a buffer of buttons, and
the screen is sized to the text, so that the screen
appears to be a menu. The display behavior is determined
by what type it is.

I consider a "pop-up" menu to be one that stays displayed
even after a mouse-up has occurred. That is, the menu is
(can be) taken down once a button has been selected by
a mouse-down.

I consider a "pull-down" menu to be one that is displayed
when a mouse-down on a button occurs, and is
taken down when a button has been selected by a mouse-UP.
A pull-down is like the Macintosh menu bar behavior.

These menus DO NOT communicate with the window manager.
They are simply a menu interface to running whatever
via Epoch.

With that explained, the next 4 files are the libraries
used to manipulate menus.

  1) menus.el : The "core" library. Contains the basic
		menu creation and movement facilities.
		pull_down_menus.el and pop_up_menus.el
		load menus.el.
  2) pop_up_menus.el
	      : Type ESC-x pop-up-menu-help for details.
  3) pull_down_menus.el
	      : Type ESC-x pull-down-menu-help for details.
  4) colors.el
	      : loads the "standard" color set for X. If
		you are on a monochrome system, the color
		names will map themselves to white or black.

The demo files can be run by doing:
   ESC-x load-file pull_down_demo.el (or pop_up_demo.el)
and then:  
   ESC-x startup
