stack menu

This is the first time I've really tried to use stack menus. I'm
building a stack menu during the course of user operations in a stack
-- it's a menu of recent images accessed, with thumbnails and stored
data associated with them. I've assigned a menustack as the menuName
of a pulldown menu button, and all the scripts for handling user input
are in the menustack stack script. I resize the menustack every time I
add a "menuitem" (actually a group consisting of a thumbnail and a
field) or choose an item from the menu (it deletes more recent
menuitems, as a "recent" menu should).
Things are working fine, but a problem arises when the menustack gets
too tall. Clicking on the pulldown menu button pops up the menu, but
the bottom of it is chopped off, as it would descend below the
screenrect. I tried putting a rawkeydown handler in the menustack to
handle scrolling, and this works fine if I open the menustack as
toplevel -- I can use my scrollwheel to scroll the stack up and down
to see the whole list -- but when I click the pulldown menu button and
try to scroll the popped-up stack, nothing happens.
Is there some way to allow scrolling of a stack menu that is too large
to display fully?
