menuHistory and menuPick

[Sarah Reichelt]

The menuPick message doesn't get passed unless the menuHistory is 
changed.
YOu get round this by doing a test for the current menuHistory and if 
it is the same as the one you are about to set, either switch to a 
different menuHistory and then back to the one you really want, or send 
a menuPick specifically to the menu.

Cheers,
Sarah
