Discussion
U_POPUP pops up a window. On Windows, U_POPUP creates a Windows-style message box with an “OK” button.
U_POPUP calls U_LDWND to load the window from the specified library. If channel is not passed, g_utlib will be used.
If search is present, U_POPUP will search for an existing window with the specified name before trying to load it from the library. If it isn’t already loaded and it isn’t in the library, a fatal Toolkit error occurs.
The D_ALERT and D_ERROR arguments are passed to the U_WAIT subroutine to wait for a user response. If neither is specified, U_POPUP assumes an alert state. The terminal bell (and MessageBeep on Windows) will not ring if g_beep is set to false (see g_beep).
If D_HELP is present, the renditions of window_name will be set to the help window renditions.
If the window was loaded by U_POPUP, it will be deleted before the subroutine returns. A “Window not found” error occurs if the specified window cannot be found.

Examples
This example pops up the window named “custhlp,” located in the window library on the channel stored in chnl. U_POPUP assumes an error-style waiting state and displays the window with help window renditions.
xcall u_popup(chnl, "custhlp",,, D_ERROR,, D_HELP)
