Need for popup window to extend beyond bounds of parent

I forgot to mention that the pos argument to the PopupMenu method almost
solves the problem with the popup menu approach, but I also have to be able
to specify whether the menu is placed above or below the static text -- or
I have to be able to rely on the default.  However, with the static text at
the bottom of a window, the default position is down (out of the window)
when I would like for it to go up.  If I could figure out the height of the
popup menu I could adjust the position accordingly, but I don't see a way
to get that information.
