Abstract: Implements a command which provides a pop-up menu allowing the user to select the actual command to execute. Since most users would have little desire to type in n commands, only to mouse select the one they really wished to perform, the application for this command is to provide choice where automated mechanism currently execute a single command — i.e. the CreateButton command.
