TRS.
I don't know about doing this with vTcl but I have a thought on how
to do it generally:
Create a button (or somthing like that).
when the button is clicked create a transiant toplevel and
put the listbox on it. set up sizes etc. and you're done. when
an option is picked from the listbox "wm withdraw" the toplevel until
next time.
Hope that helps.
BTW.
There are more kinds of menus (popup, and menubar (in tk8.0))
