I'm probably misinterpreting what you're talking about... If this popup is within the menu and you want it to drop down the popup upon start, perhaps you could kludge it by stuffing keystrokes into the keyboard buffer (with keystrokes that would trigger the desired popup to appear) ?

Assuming that the menu pad associated with the desired popup is first one starting with a "T", then you could probably add just before the READ EVENTS

KEYBOARD "{F10}T"

The F10 key would activate the menu bar, then "T" should trigger the menu pad (with a label starting with a "T"), which then would cause the popup list to appear.
