Actually, what you want to do is to set the "menuHistory" to a number
corresponding to the menu item you want selected. So if the menu displays
"A" as the first item, then "B", you want to do:

  set the menuHistory of button "myButton" to 1

However keep in mind that this does the same thing as actually *selecting*
the menu item, so if you want to reset the menu, but *not* have it take
effect, you need to wrap the command in "lock messages", like this:

  lock messages
  set the menuHistory of button "myButton" to 1
  unlock messages
