Select the item (click with the mouse on it, till it visibly appears
selected (rectangle appears around the item with 6 little balls for
resizing , in your case the item is your popup button)) and press the
Propeller key and the 1 key at the same time (there is incidentally also
a menu entry for the inspector). The Propeller key is the key besides
the space bar.

Select one "choice" press Propeller-X (cut). Add one "choice", select
one "choice" and copy/paste Propeller-C Propeller-V. To select a
"choice" click on the selected popup button again, then select your
choice with another click.

No, chose the dark site anyway. I have done so and never regretted the
choice.

I would bet, that it ain't so. Although I think for your level of
questions there is some dox /Developer/Documentation/Cocoa especially
the contents of the DevEnvGuide folder should help a lot.

Sure, although I am not the owner here.

Why not start a FAQ for the wannabes ?
