Hi AL,

I don't understand something: why do you put items into the popup menu?
I thought it had to contain just the edit commands, leaving to the tabs
to show their buttons. You could apply to every button the property to open
the edit/popupmenu by the Ctrl-key down while clicking, and that's all.
The same for the tab labels, and the upper !menus too, if you use them.

here is evening, so
ciao!
