I sent the above a few days ago, I want to add to it so anyone  
searching the archives will get a more complete story. The archives  
are my friends - Archives is Good.

Sarah was kind enough to check her code and found this:

Checking through my scripts again, I found this at the very end of the
iconMenuPick handler:

    -- this is essential to make the normal menus work
    set the iconmenu to empty
end iconMenuPick


As she states, it does seem to be essential - in any event my icon  
menu now works fine.
