I don't think I understand what you mean.
I have a cascading menu which has contents that change. So the number 
of the menuitems (menuhistory) changes. That means that I must have the 
text value of the menupick. If I have a menu called 検索 how can I check 
for it in a script?

on menupick pwhich
switch pwhich
case "検索"
do something
break
case "other"
do something else
break
end switch
end menupick

This script will not  work in the script window because the kanji has a 
quote char in it. How can I trap for this when I can't even include it 
in the script window?

Yes, the quote is the problem, but you would think that you should be 
able to put it into the script window. I'm not sure how a custom 
property would help in this case? Do you make the script from the 
custom property?

Can you make a menu with just 'iro' as an item? I could get テキスト色 to 
work but not just 色.
as the head of a cascading menu. viz. with colors listed below the menu.

If I put
色
<tab>[EMAIL PROTECTED](B
<tab>白
<tab>黒

(where <tab> is actually a tab char)
into a fld and set the text of the btn to the unicodetext  of the fld, 
the menu refuses to display in the menubar even though it displays okay 
on the card as part of the btn group forming the menu.

Looks like there is a problem, right? I am using 2.5 version 2.6.1
