While reviewing "Getting Started with Base", I noticed the use
of the term "pop-up" menu. I'm thinking that OOo help has referred to
this as a "context" menu. The reason being that the menu which appears
when you right click depends upon what you click. Hence, the appearing
menu depends upon the context involved in the right click. Perhaps I
am being picky, but I would like to know which of these is the
preferred term so I can standardize the wording in this chapter (and
other chapters as well).
I'm presently a little over half-way finished with my review.
Updating this chapter for 3.2 has required more changes and a few
additions than I had expected.

You could touch both bases by referring to it as a "context pop-up
menu." Then most everybody should be satisfied. If that works, that
expanded term could be added to the style guide.
