I'm not sure, it works for me the way you want when I tested your 
script. But you don't really need any of that for a plain option button. 
Actually you don't need a script at all to get the behavior you're 
describing, since it's the default behavior. For manual selection by a 
user, the menuhistory is set automatically, so I probably misled you 
when I mentioned it. You don't need to set it in a script unless you 
want to activate the button without any user interaction.

Rev provides a template script in a new option button that is probably 
more what you'd want to use. Like this:

on menuPick pItemName
    switch pItemName
       case "one"
       -- stuff for this choice
       break
       case "two"
       -- stuff for case 2
       break
       -- etc
    end switch
end menuPick

This should behave as you expect.
