Specify popup menu location on screen

OK, I know this is an easy one, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. I have a line of code in which a popup menu appears to ask for an input:
mnu = menu('Add an element not listed?', 'No', 'Yes');
As is, I can never predict where the popup menu will appear on the screen. How can I specify the menu location so that it always appears near the center of my screen?

Sure. You can figure() to create a new figure at what-ever Position you want; set its window style to be 'modal'; and uicontrol() to your heart's content in the created figure.
If you
type menu.m
and study the code, you will see that the above is already what menu() does for the GUI case: it is just that menu has its own ideas about where the window should go rather than giving any kind of control to the caller.

You have no control over where menu() will place the popup. I just rechecked the source and there is no user control there.
