menuPick returns the text of the selected menu item. This is fine, but when
items are the same (as in a list of names referring to record cards), it is
not easy to identify _which_ record has been selected:
John Adams
Fred Garcia
John Smith
John Smith
Alan Tilby
on menuPick what
put lineOffset(what,the text of me) into n
go cd id (line n of the cdIDs of me)
end menuPick
How can we deal with this? Optionally return the lineNumber instead of the
lineText of the selected menu item?
You can check the menuHistory property of the button - this contains the
number of the item picked.
