Addendum: If I use "put target" instead of "put line 2 of target" I get
what you got, Kay. It returns the name. So apparently it requires
forcing text evaluation, which is what "get line 2 of target" does.
Interesting.

I'm using 8.0rc1 but it should work in earlier versions. The buttons
need to contain content, and it only works on buttons that accept
content. So it will work on standard, rectangle, and menu buttons
(including tab buttons,) for example, but not radio or checkbox buttons.
The menu buttons are pre-loaded with placeholder content and I filled
the others. I have a field with this text:
Line one
Line two
Line three
and populated the empty buttons this way: put fld 1 into btn <whatever>
No buttons have scripts. In the card script:
on mouseUp
put line 2 of target
end mouseUp
Regardless of what you select in the menu buttons, the message box says
"Choice two". The same happens for fields and non-menu buttons, which
return "Line two".
