The

protoGeneralPopup

is a pop-up view that has a close box. The view

cancels if the user taps outside it. This can use this proto to construct more
complex pickers. It is used, for example, as the basis for the duration
pickers. For information about the slots and methods for this proto, see
“protoGeneralPopup” (page 5-19) in Newton Programmer’s Reference.
