not a workaround, but a Transcript.. errr.. Revolution term for the same thing (ie handling menu messages) is

menupick

used for popups as well. Menus are actually all buttons in Rev.

sqb

from the docs:

Summary:
Sent to a button when a menu item is chosen from the menu associated with that button.

Examples:
on menuPick theItem -- in a pulldown menu
  if theItem is "Close" then close the defaultStack
  else if theItem is "Quit" then quit
end menuPick


Handle the menuPick message to do something when the user chooses a menu item from a button menu, or chooses a tab in a tabbed button.



Thank you, Mark, for responding to my question. Seems I'm a bit ahead of things here. I am in a planning stage of how to address all the concerns of the planned migration to Rev. I remember, or I thought I remembered, someone on this list a couple of years ago indicated the "start using stack" did not work correctly. Perhaps I got that all wrong.

In playing with a test conversion yesterday I did run into a "DoMenu" script not working. Rev instructions do say "DoMenu" commands won't work. Is there a work a round for the "DoMenu" thingie? Here is one example I'd like to keep the functionality of if possible.

on doMenu what
  if what ‚ "Compact Stack" then pass doMenu
  if longToPath() is in the stacksInUse then
    stop using this stack
    send the params to HyperCard -- do the compact
    start using this stack
  else pass doMenu
end doMenu
