Hello All.

I'm trying to get a JpopupMenu to work here [1].  The menu comes up
easily enough, however the only time the menu item is hilighted, is for
a brief moment when the mouse button is released.

I was kinda hoping JpopupMenu would magically hilite each item as the
mouse hovered over it, but perhaps I need to implement that part
myself?

Thanks,
