It's actually more like a menu. One of the caveats (at least in the

picking the same thing as you picked last time does not generate the
menuPick command, so you have to fudge it.
This is true.
It is like clicking the same radio button in a group.
If the user makes the same choice in a menu, since there is no change,
should the menupick report it?
If you want that, then take steps to manage the menuhistory, like
--- simple test for menu buttons and tab buttons
on menuPick pItemName
;put pItemName && the ticks
end menuPick
on mousedown
;put "down" && \
line (the menuhistory of me) of the text of me \
&& the ticks
end mousedown
------------------------------------
local xLastUserChoiceForThisMenu
on mousedown
;put "down" && line (the menuhistory of me) of the text of me
-- you can store the text of the last user action
put (the menuhistory of me) into xLastUserChoiceForThisMenu
--now you can compare each user repeat of a tab click
end mousedown
-----------------------------------
Hope this helps.
