Well, you could send a mouseUp:

on openStack
  send "mouseUp" to button "Do It" of stack "My Palette"
end openStack

...of course, the button "Do It" will need to actually have a mouseDown
message handler to run:

on mouseUp ## this is button "Do It"
  set the loc of me to "100,100"
end mouseUp

HTH,
