Chris,

Maybe this will do

LOCAL lcSelected

DEFINE POPUP myPopup SHORTCUT RELATIVE FROM mrow(), mcol() 
DEFINE BAR 1 OF myPopup PROMPT 'First item'  
DEFINE BAR 2 OF myPopup PROMPT 'Second item'
DEFINE BAR 3 OF myPopup PROMPT 'Third item'  
DEFINE BAR 4 OF myPopup PROMPT 'Fourth item'

ON SELECTION POPUP myPopup lcSelected = PROMPT()

ACTIVATE POPUP myPopup 

WAIT WINDOW lcSelected Nowait

Cheers,

Zoran
