Hi, Dave.  Another way uses the executionContexts, even though it's not
supported or documented.  It is simpler than passing parameters and
distinguishing them.

<script>
if word 1 of line -2 of the executionContexts is "button" then
</script>

You can check for a particular button as well as distinguish mouseUp from
mouseDown, if you want.

<script>
if item 1 to 2 of line -2 of the executionContexts is /
    the long id of button "foo","mouseUp" then
</script>
