     DESCRIPTION
          The XtCreatePopupShell function ensures that the specified
          class is a subclass of Shell and, rather than using
          insert_child to attach the widget to the parent's children
          list, attaches the shell to the parent's pop-ups list
          directly.

          A spring-loaded pop-up invoked from a translation table
          already must exist at the time that the translation is
          invoked, so the translation manager can find the shell by
          name.  Pop-ups invoked in other ways can be created ``on-
          the-fly'' when the pop-up actually is needed.  This delayed
          creation of the shell is particularly useful when you pop up
          an unspecified number of pop-ups.  You can look to see if an
          appropriate unused shell (that is, not currently popped up)
          exists and create a new shell if needed.
