but I get an error for this line:

 send menupick ("Working Guide") to btn "Help"

and the script error is saying it thinks this is a function call and not an attempt to send a msg?

Yes, because it is written like a function call using parentheses:

 menupick("Working Guide")

You need a command statement:

 put "Working Guide" into tItem
 send "menupick tItem" to btn "help"

And as Klaus notes, use quotes around the statement to send.

One other suggestion: Whenever I have a situation like this where I need to call menu items from other handlers, I never put the command statements into the menu button itself. Rather, I write a handler containing the instructions and then call that handler from both the menu button and the other places in my scripts. It saves a lot of debugging, not to mention avoiding the overhead for "send" statements. In this case, I'd put this into your Help button:

case "Working Guide"
  showWorkingGuide
  break
...
end switch

And then put a "showWorkingGuide" handler in the stack script which could be called from anywhere else.
