DESCRIPTION
This procedure posts a menu at a given position on the screen and con-
figures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded children can be traversed
with the mouse or the keyboard. Menu is the name of a menu widget and
x and y are the root coordinates at which to display the menu. If en-
try is omitted or an empty string, the menu's upper left corner is po-
sitioned at the given point. Otherwise entry gives the index of an en-
try in menu and the menu will be positioned so that the entry is posi-
tioned over the given point.
