Determining which menu button was clicked on Mac

[Paolo Mazza]

I would set script of  the menubutton to :

on menuPick pWhich
   put the text of me into TESTO

   switch pWhich
   case (line 1 of TESTO)

     if line 1 of TESTO is "play" then
-- do something
       put "stop" into line 1 of TESTO
     else
       put "play" into line 1 of TESTO
-- do something
     end if
     set the text of me to TESTO	
     break
	
   case (line 2 of TESTO)
     beep 1
     break
   end switch

end menuPick

However it would be very useful to have  a "MenuPickNumber"  returned 
by Revolution any time a menu item (or a sub-menu item) has been 
clicked,
So, we could easily change the text of the button  and let the script 
unchanged (for example when we have a menu issued in different 
languages).

Best regards

Paolo Mazza
