popup menu question: deactivate from the keyboard?

XEmacs 21.2 (beta28) "Hermes" [Lucid] (alphaev5-dec-osf4.0f) of Mon Feb 7 2000 on goedel1, running under X windows. I posted a question about this to comp.emacs.xemacs, and I'm starting to think that it's a question for the developers. The keyboard for the machine in my office has a key with a little picture of a menu (the 'menu' key) on it, and when I hit that key in XEmacs, I get a mode-specific pop-up menu (it runs the command 'popup-mode-menu'). This seems like a fine idea to me. The problem: I occasionally hit that key accidentally. The question: can I get rid of the resulting pop-up menu just by using the keyboard, or do I have to use the mouse? In other words, if you can activate popup menus without the mouse, shouldn't you be able to get rid of them without the mouse? Shouldn't C-g, at the very least, get rid of the menu? -- John H.
