Let me third it :-).  Another reason for doing it this way is that the
right mouse button can popup a menu straight away, instead of the Win95
way where the menu appears when the user releases the button.

Another thing that would be helpful would an list of the accelerator
keys in the prompt menu (eg beside the Link item, it would say
"Ctrl+Shift+Drag").
