It's exactly what an MPR does. If you run an MPR and then DISPLAY MEMO, you will see all the popups you defined in memory. The difference is that they are associated with the menu (ON PAD) and the rules of menus apply. Without that, anything is fair game. Thanks for reminding me of that. I had forgotten the structure of MPRs and it was good to review. :-)
