	The question is how can I set this up so that upon mouse-clicking
	on an item value I am presented with a temporary menu of the possible
	item values instead of entering it though the keyboard or by mousing
	on a item in a sequence set? Simple examples would be appreciated.

    I don't think DW provides any built-in interface to popping up temporary
    menus.  You'll probably have to define a new presentation type whose
    parser does this.  It would have to make a recursive use of
    DW:ACCEPTING-VALUES with :OWN-WINDOW T.

I've done something like this, and it works fine. I'll try and dig up the
code, but I've not had the time. It's pretty simple to do, too.
