	Now, I had done so in this manner (any duplication is
merely for testing):

Mouse 1         R       A       PopUp "Start"
Mouse 2         R       A       PopUp "Command"
Mouse 3         R       A       WindowList
Mouse 4         R       A       PopUp "Start"

Mouse 1         T       A       Function "Move-or-Top"
Mouse 2         T       A       RaiseLower   
Mouse 3         T       A       RaiseLower
Mouse 4         T       A       Iconify

	Suffice it to say these do not work. I did reload the correct
feel file after saving changes, so I know it isn't my numbness in the
head...

	X does recognize it in the startup sequence, yet this does not
work for me...

	Can there be something in another config file, perhaps?
