oooo....I like this. I shall have to play around with it a bit.  Although, I 
don't think it will have other features I need from NSButton like 
setShowsBorderOnlyWhileMouseInside.  But, I could probably have my subclass 
implement that, which may be easier then getting the NSButton to show a menu 
after a delay. Thanks Peter.

Oh, a slight correction on what I said previously....there is no delay after I 
let the mouse button go up before my selector was performed.
