[Coco] Pulldown menus in Basic09

[Wayne Campbell]

The window routine I sent you that uses 5 windows to emulate one window with 
panes uses that. It's the overlay window that opens. However, I haven't 
written the code to handle menu processing yet. It shouldn't be too 
difficult to write. I am working on that, so when I have something to show 
you, I'll let you (and the list) know.
