Ooh - thought of another one!  Try abusing Wimp_SendMessage to slip
yourself a fake Menu_Selection event.  Set a flag to remind yourself
that you've done it, and on the next Wimp_Poll, if the flag's set, call
Wimp_CreateMenu and take no further action.  Check before all of this
that a menu that might need redrawing is actually open, via
Wimp_GetMenuState (although I'm not sure if that copes with being called
when the pointer is currently elsewhere either).
