Here's a method. It requires you create a separate popup menu button, which may be hidden: local isInMenu -- keeps mouseUp from firing if you showed the menu on mouseDown put false into isInMenu send "popGoesTheMenu" to me in 2 seconds -- delay time end mouseDown on mouseUp if isInMenu then pass mouseUp beep 2 -- or do whatever action you want for a click end mouseUp on popGoesTheMenu if the mouse is up then exit popGoesTheMenu put true into isInMenu popup button "My Popup" -- the menuPick handler in "My Popup" handles the actions end popGoesTheMenu -- Jeanne A.
