put char 1 of line 1 of btn "File" of group "Main_Menu" of cd "Store" \
of stack "Main_Display" = "(" into tDisabledStatus

tDisabledStatus variable will contain a boolean value (true or false).

Or build a more generic function:

if IsDisabled(1,the long ID of btn "File" of group "Main_Menu" \
of cd "Store" of stack "Main_Display") then etc.

function IsDisabled pLineNo,pMenuButton
   do "return char 1 of line pLineNo of" && pMenuButton && "= 
numToChar(40)"
end IsDisabled
