Menu Buttons

[Bob Sneidar]

I checked this yesterday with 4.6.1. If I issue menuhistory from the message window to a button with the current choice. menupick does NOT get sent. I know this because I put a breakpoint at the start of the menupick handler in that button and nothing happened. However, if I physically select the same choice that is already selected I DO get a menupick message.
