RR sends a 'menuPick' event upon selection of an item
in a menu button, so I suggest you look it up in the
Transcript language dictionary.

Set the script of your popup button to this:

on menuPick pWhichItem
  global gSomeGlobal
  put pWhichItem into gSomeGlobal
end menuPick

If you want to know which item is currently selected,
have a look at the 'menuHistory' property in the
Trascript language dictionary.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
