Rev 3.0 problems

Hi Peter:

By any chance, do you have an "if the optionKey is down ..." line in  
your button's script? I've noticed that in 2.9, option-command-click  
on a button (with this line in the button's script) wouldn't trigger  
the underlying optionKey procedure, but in 3.0 (irritatingly) it does.
