I'm trying to pop another stack with selections over an object from that
object's handler. My concern is the popup going over the top or bottom.
(There's a secondary left/right issue, too, but the top/bottom is the big
issue))
So something like
on mouseOver
lock screen
palette stack "choose" at the screenLoc of me
do some magic to keep it on screen
end mouseOver
