[chimera-dev] pull down menus

[Eric Pettersen]

Well, it's not a public API, but you seem like a brave sort. ;-)  chimera.tkgui._createMenus(parent) will create a Tk.Menu (with parent as its parent widget), fill it in with the same contents as Chimera's main set of menus, and return that Menu instance.

Should work. :-)
