Of course, since that's essentially what my option button script is
doing already. But it's also including a menu item Other... which
opens the Mac or Windows getfile dialog box to open a file that isn't
listed already as one of the items in the menu.
Since the script to deal with opening a listed stack or using the
getfile dialog box is fairly lengthy, I would prefer to be able to
simply send a menuPick with the currently visible option button item
as a parameter, and let the button's script handle it just as if I
had selected the item from the option button's menu.
The question remains, is my workaround the only way to accomplish
this? And is there a way to send a menuPick message to a button?

David
