This appears to be the same as if you delete (menuItem Clear) as

This appears to be true. You will probably have to intercept the  
backspaceKey and deleteKey messages and add a send closefield to the  
target message after the deletion.

Re: closeField and the clear command

..and maybe setting the menuHistory property of a button which  
generates a menuPick message.  I know that's not something a user does  
directly but it does get set when the user selects an item from an  
option menu.  I actually like that.  I can set the label of an option  
menu button if I don;t want any messages to pop and the menuHistory if  
I do - would be great if other controls had similar functionality

Yes. Scripts don't send any messages that are normally generated  
only by user actions. The only exception I can think of off-hand is  
the click at command, which simulates a few mouse events.
