I'm using 8.0rc1 but it should work in earlier versions. The buttons 
need to contain content, and it only works on buttons that accept 
content. So it will work on standard, rectangle, and menu buttons 
(including tab buttons,) for example, but not radio or checkbox buttons.

The menu buttons are pre-loaded with placeholder content and I filled 
the others. I have a field with this text:

Line one
Line two
Line three

and populated the empty buttons this way: put fld 1 into btn <whatever>

No buttons have scripts. In the card script:

on mouseUp
   put line 2 of target
end mouseUp

Regardless of what you select in the menu buttons, the message box says 
"Choice two". The same happens for fields and non-menu buttons, which 
return "Line two".
