Here's a more elegant rewrite of my earlier 
posted bevel button popup demo incorporating 
Robert Purves' suggestion to use the toolbox call 
SetBevelButtonMenuValue. This code also gets rid 
of the noxious global menu names.

      Check bevel button item on initialization

      Revised by

      6-20-03

      Rewritten to incorporate Robert Purves
      suggestion to use the toolbox function
      SetBevelButtonMenuValue to set initial
      menu value, and also to eliminate the use
      of global bevel button popup menu names
