Menu Problem!

[Dan Shafer]

David....

First, are you trying to get the menu to execute the code associated  
with option A on openStack or are you just interested in making sure  
the button's label is set right? If the latter, rather than using  
menuPick just set the label of the button. That should work fine  
(untested).

Second, have you tried sending the menuPick message from a different  
place, e.g., another button? I set up a little test to do that. If I  
didn't explicitly set the label of the menu button, the script for  
the menu choice I entered would execute but the label of the menu  
button remained unchanged. So I suspect the secret is that you have  
to set the label of the menu button and then, if you want it to  
execute the choice, send the menuPick message.
