closeField and the clear command

[Peter Haworth]

..and maybe setting the menuHistory property of a button which  
generates a menuPick message.  I know that's not something a user does  
directly but it does get set when the user selects an item from an  
option menu.  I actually like that.  I can set the label of an option  
menu button if I don;t want any messages to pop and the menuHistory if  
I do - would be great if other controls had similar functionality
