Sending mouseUp

Hi Craig,
You're right that the button wasn't fully qualified initially, but no error
was thrown.  That's another problem I've come across in preOpenCard - often
errors just don't get thrown.  Plus red dot break points don't trigger
(although a breakpoint command does).

All in all, preOpenCard is a weird and strange environment.  I plan to
avoid it wherever possible in the future.  In the project with the current
issue, preOpenCard consist of a "hide stack" command and I've moved all my
processing to openCard with a "show stack" command at the front (thanks to
Geoff Canyon for that technique).  I hate to have to resort to that type of
trickery but I've spent way too much time debugging preOpenCard issues in
the past.
