Unfortunately that makes a call to menuPick.

I've solved the problem by writing a wrapper routine

on MyMenuHistory buttonName, itemNumber
   put true into gMenuHistoryBeingCalled
   set the menuHistory of button buttonName to itemNumber
   put false into gMenuHistoryBeingCalled
end MyMenuHistory

and then in each of my menuPick routines I test to see if 
gMenuHistoryBeingCalled is set to true (exiting if it is).

Thanks for the help,
