John, I think you may not be using the cascading menu button properly. It sounds like you're attempting to use it like an option menu or pulldown menu button, by just placing it on the card and hoping it will work. Cascade menu buttons are intended to be placed in stacks that are dropped down from a button as a "stack menu". If you aren't familiar with what this is, think of it this way... an option/pulldown/popup menu displays the contents of the button in the menu it displays. Stack menus are a way to pop up a stack *as if it was a menu*; allowing you to provide custom menus (like a color picker, tool palette, etc.). If you place a cascading menu button in a stack that will be popped up as a menu, it works properly (i.e. what you select triggers the menupick message).
If you look in the Transcript Dictionary under "cascade", you'll see what I mean...
