..and maybe setting the menuHistory property of a button which generates a menuPick message. I know that's not something a user does directly but it does get set when the user selects an item from an option menu. I actually like that. I can set the label of an option menu button if I don;t want any messages to pop and the menuHistory if I do - would be great if other controls had similar functionality

The docs say that if you "put" something from a script into a field
no closeField message is sent.

This appears to be the same as if you delete (menuItem Clear) as
well. Is this the correct behavior because the docs don't mention
it?

Yes. Scripts don't send any messages that are normally generated only by user actions. The only exception I can think of off-hand is the "click at" command, which simulates a few mouse events.
