Roger,
Is this what you are looking for?
If your script is triggered by a change of the option menu, then this format
should work…
on menuPick pItemName
switch pItemName
case "sin"
put the sin of fld 1 into fld 2
break
case "cos"
put the cos of fld 1 into fld 2
break
case "tan"
put the tan of fld 1 into fld 2
break
end switch
end menuPick
But if you want the card script to read the option menu choice after it has
been made, then leave the button script empty and use something like this in
your card script…
command thisHandler
put the label of btn "myOptiionMenu" into tOption
switch tOption
case "sin"
put the sin of fld 1 into fld 2
break
case "cos"
put the cos of fld 1 into fld 2
break
case "tan"
put the tan of fld 1 into fld 2
break
end switch
end thisHandler
