Very close but still no cigar.
I did the following to monitor what was happening
on thisHandler
put the label of btn "myOptionMenu" into sOption
end thisHandler
on otherHandler theta
get "put the" && sOption && "of" && theta
do it
put it&&the result
end otherHandler
When I execute this for theta = pi/4, I get "put the Sin of 0.785398" with the
result being empty. I I then copy "put the Sin of 0.785398" and paste back into
the message box, it works with .707, the correct answer.
So close…….
