Below is one way to do it --- the right way, I think when the popup
menu is associated with a text%.

It's also possible to override `on-event' in editor-canvas% to
intercept the mouse event directly, and then use `popup-menu' in
editor-canvas%. (That technique works for plain canvas%, too.)

              ;; Ask the editor's display to show the pop-up menu
	      (send (send e get-admin) popup-menu menu x y)))))
  ;; Map rightbutton to the popup-menu function
  (send km map-function "rightbutton" "do-popup"))

(send f show #t)
