   9  *      XMenuPost -     Maps a given menu to the display and activates
  10  *                      the menu for user selection.  The user is allowed to
  11  *                      specify the mouse button event mask that will be used
  12  *                      to identify a selection request.  When a selection
  13  *                      request is received (i.e., when the specified mouse
  14  *                      event occurs) the data  returned will be either the
  15  *                      data associated with the particular selection active
  16  *                      at the time of the selection request or NULL if no
  17  *                      selection was active.  A menu selection is shown to
  18  *                      be active by placing a highlight box around the
  19  *                      selection as the mouse cursor enters its active
  20  *                      region.  Inactive selections will not be highlighted.
  21  *                      As the mouse cursor moved from one menu pane
  22  *                      to another menu pane the pane being entered is raised
  23  *                      and activated and the pane being left is deactivated.
  24  *                      If an error occurs NULL will be returned with the
  25  *                      p_num set to POST_ERROR, s_num set to
  26  *                      NO_SELECTION and _XMErrorCode set to an
  27  *                      appropriate value.
  28  *                      Every time the routine returns successfully the
  29  *                      p_num and s_num indices will be set to indicate
  30  *                      the currently active pane and/or selection.  If the
  31  *                      mouse was not in a selection window at the time
  32  *                      s_num will be set to NO_SELECTION.
