¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
        Now uses the timer device to break deadlocks with intuition. If a
deadlock occurs then it will be broken after 10 seconds. Menu will also
disappear after 10 seconds of user inactivity.  Also fixed a few potential
un-initialized pointers (thanks to SAS/C 6.57).


Wazzat ???
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
        Popper replace  Intuition menus with popup menus  which appear under
the mouse pointer instead of in the top of the screen.


Usage
¯¯¯¯¯
        To start Popper, you simply type the following in a CLI or Shell:

              run <nil: >nil: Popper [return]


        To Stop Popper, you simply type Control-C (hold the CTRL key and the
C key at the same time).  If you runned Popper,  you can send it a Control-C
by using the break command  (see your Amiga Shell manual).   All menus which
were accessed while popper runned  will be messed-up.   I Suggest you reboot
immediatly after quitting popper.


        When Popper is running, all menus  are directly  available under the
mouse pointer.   When a menu  is made visible,  it can be  teared away to be
permanently displayed.  The items of a torn menu  are selected with the left
mouse button (like gadget).   Teared menu can be moved about and closed any-
time.  You don't have to close teared menu yourself, when the program owning
the menus will exit,  the teared menu will disapear automagically.


        Also,  Popper will let you  control the menus with the keyboard much
more easily.   To activate the keyboard menu selection,  press the right ALT
key and the right AMIGA key at the same time (no need to hold them).  You'll
then see the menus appear.  You can move through the menu structure with the
arrow keys.  You can chose an item by pressing the RETURN key, or cancel the
menu operation  by pressing the ESC key.   Moving around in the menu via the
keyboard  is hard to describe,  so experiment  with the  various situations.
There's always one key to move to the next item, one to move to the previous
item and one or more to go back to the previous menu level.
