How to set F3 as a pop-up menu for particular function?

I have a function call AddBLKLayers that can create add-on mutilple layers base on particular selected rectangle. Now I would like to use F3, such as in Rule function, once the user press F3, it will have a particular pop-up that associate with AddBLKLayers function.

Can anyone show me how to set F3 key to have a pop-up menu when AddBLKLayers in use?

Thanks,

Here is the code that I completed yesterday when I select a layer, it will add-on the rest of blockage layers or exclusive layers as needed.   This code only to add-on the extra layers that I defined without any other choices for user; hence, I thought of to add on F3 key as an option for user to have the choice of choose particular layers to add-on.
I'm just about to start to write the OptionsForm as you suggested.   I'm not familiar this and definitely will need your help later.
exLayers = '(("ex_R_rule" "guideline") ("ex_R_rule" "require") ("ex_R_rule" "recommend") ("ex_R_rule" ("analog"))
dmyLayers = '(("ODBLK" "dummy") ("POBLK" "dummy") ("DMEXCL" "dummy1") ("DMEXCL" "dummy2").....("DMEXCL" "dummya"))
procedure(AddBLKLayers(@optional (LayerSel car(geGetSelSet()~>lpp)))
CurSel = car(geGetSelSet()~>lpp)
LayerSel = car(CurSel)
if( CurSel != nil && CurSel != "drawing" && CurSel != "pin" then
     if(LayerSel == "ex_R_rule" then   /* Place additional exclusive layers */
        foreach(layer exLayers
           if( layer != CurSel then
                 printf("Added layer = %L\n" layer)
                 dbCreateRect(
                      geGetEditCellView()
                      layer
                      CCSgetBBox()
                 ) ;dbCreateRect
            else
               printf("\n %L exist and skipped !\n\n" layer)
        );if
     );foreach
    else /* Place additional blockage layers */
      foreach(layer dmyLayers
         if(layer != CurSel then
             printf("Added layer = %L\n" layer)
             dbCreateRect(
                    geGetEditCellView()
                    layer
                    CCSgetBBox()
              );dbCreateRect
         else
           printf("\n %L exist and skipped !\n\n" layer)
     );if dmyLayers
   );foreach dmyLayers
);if LayerSel
else /* nothing is selected */
      printf("Please select a ex_R_rule layer or Blockage layer, then press Ctrl-Q again !\n")
);if CurSel = nil
) ;procedure AddBLKLayers
I know in order to add-on option form, I might need to modify my code agagin.
Again, any commend or suggestion is welcome.
best regards,
Kathy
