Hi William,

Have you tried to use the 'menuHistory' property to
change the selected option? It takes the line number
of the option to select.

  set the menuHistory of btn "Level" to 4

This will also send the 'menuPick' message to the
option button, which might come in handy - and it
that's the opposite of what you want, just use a pair
of 'lock messages' and 'unlock messages' around it.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
