Displays the specified pop-up menu.

INTEGER*4 FUNCTION DOPUP(popup) INTEGER*4 popup
The dopup subroutine displays the specified pop-up menu until the user makes a selection. If the calling program has the input focus, the specified menu is displayed and the system returns the value resulting from the item selection.
The value can be returned by a submenu, a function, or a number bound directly to an item. If no selection is made, the dopup subroutine returns a value of -1 (negative one).
The dopup subroutine manipulates events in the event queue. If the dopup subroutine is called as a result of a left mouse or middle mouse button press event, the menu remains posted until the right mouse button is pressed to make a selection. The dopup subroutine removes a pair of right mouse press and release events from the event queue (if the right mouse was queued), and also removes the left mouse or middle mouse button release event.
If the dopup subroutine is called as a result of a right mouse button press event, the menu remains posted until the right mouse button is released. The menu entry selected is the entry that was highlighted when the right mouse button was released. The dopup subroutine removes the right mouse button release event from the event queue.
If no selection is made (that is, if the user releases the right mouse button off the pop-up menu) no menu entry selection is made, and the dopup subroutine returns a value of -1. The right mouse button release event is removed from the queue.
In more complicated event sequences, all mouse button-up events up to and including the first right mouse button-up event are removed. If the user accidently presses other mouse buttons before making a pop-up menu selection, orphaned button down events (button down events without matching button up events) may remain in the event queue.
When the menu is defined, the defpup or addtopup subroutine specifies the list of menu entries and their corresponding actions.
Note: This subroutine cannot be used to add to a display list.
