Jacqueline,
In this situation, the instance of duplicate menu items actually serves
the end user, as it encourages them to create more descriptive labels.
These menu items are videos that have been imported into my program. The
original video file names are just a series of numbers (like
12453253.mov). When they get imported into my program, they are assigned
a label, "un-named video". This label is what users see in the pulldown
menu when they go to access one of these videos. So unless they've given
the video a more descriptive label (they can label a video just about
anything they want), the menu can display a list with some items of the
same name.
Yes, I could automatically label each incoming video with a sequentially
higher number, like "un-named video 11", "un-named video 12", etc., but
that process actually gets rather messy in my program and tends to
discourage people from relabeling the videos.

I could not get a valid line number for a submenu. I understand using
a secondary routine to find the line number in the button contents,
since I can find the menuPicked text, but are you saying you can get
the line number directly?
No, I was only saying what you describe -- getting the lineoffset of
the menupick param in the contents of the button. But that relies on
each menu item being different, which I don't see as a disadvantage. I
can't think of any software where duplicate menu items would be
considered okay.
