Capture the Trig Function from an Option Menu Button

[Roger Guay]

Thanks for your help, Paul. Your second script is more like what I need. BUT, I need to capture the bare function to be used with angles that are derived from some other script. Something like:

local  theTrigFctn

on thisHandler
 put the label of btn "myOptiionMenu" into tOption
 switch tOption
     case "sin"
        put sin into theTrigFctn  --- you can't do this
        break
     case "cos"
        put cos into theTrigFctn  --- you can't do this
        break
     case "tan"
        put tan into theTrigFctn  --- you can't do this
        break
  end switch
end thisHandler

on otherHandler theta
    put theTrigFctn(theta)
end otherHandler

Thanks again,
Roger
