I don't think it is possible. Depending on which PWM functions it
uses, you may have to use propsheet (See REF PROPSHEET) and
perhaps RC_GRAPHIC (See HELP RC_GRAPHIC).

I have some extensions to these which make certain things easier.
They are available in the Birmingham Poplog ftp directory

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/

the README file gives an overview of the contents.

The directory rcstuff/  available in the compressed tar file
    rctar.gz

includes some objectclass-based facilities for creating static and
moving pictures which are sensitive to mouse events. You can create
control panels etc. using these.

The directories pui/ and menu/ which are also available in the
compressed tar file
    menutar.gz

include the following
    pui/
        An extension of Poplog's pop_ui facilities, for creation of
        popup menus, file browser, requests for text input, etc.
        Used by the menu/ package.
    menu/
        The code and documentation for the "recursive hypermenu system"
        an extension to Pop-11 and VED which allows easily extendable
        menus for controlling VED and Pop-11, and spawning Unix
        processes etc. using asynchronous control panels. A tutorial
        example is in menu/teach/menu_demo.p
        For details see menu/help/ved_menu.
        NB the set of autoloadable menus in menu/menus/*.p should be
        regarded as a sample, rather than definitive. Some of the
        examples will not work outside Birmingham as they need local
        libraries (available on request.)
