Thanks very much. This is definitely a bug. That was the behavior I had
in mind, but I must have left it out when I did an overhaul in version
1.00. I'll do another release tomorrow. I need to update my test suite
with a test for the bug, and make sure that nothing else needs to be
added to the docs.

This is the right idea, and the right method to call, but perhaps not
the best place to make the call. If it's where I think you're
suggesting, then there are times when it won't get called when it
should. I'm going to put towards the end of the sub, either before or
after where showPopup is called - I don't think it matters which. I'm
testing it now.

I'm glad that you find it useful. Thanks again for taking the time to
report the problem AND suggest a fix.
It will be fixed, in 1.03 -- once I release it, I'll close this bug.
