It didn't quite work for me the way I wanted it to, but it was enough of a start that I was able to work out the rest of the solution for myself. I was running into a problem where it was giving me just the previous item selected and not the current one chosen.

You need to do this manually by removing the !c when the menu item is selected, and then putting it back in when it is selected again. Here's an example: on menuPick put the menuHistory of me into tSelection put me into tMenuItems if char 1 to 2 of line tSelection of tMenuItems = "!c" then delete char 1 to 2 of line tSelection of tMenuItems else put "!c" before line tSelection of tMenuItems end if put tMenuItems into me end menuPick This toggles the checkmark for a menu item in a popup menu button. BTW: You can find this in the Revolution Documentation - click on the "RoadMap" button, then click "Development Guide", then "Menus", then "menus and the menu bar" (under the About section). Scroll down about half way to "Special Effects In Menus". Easy! ;-) Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The checkmark doesn't go on and off accordingly. Have I missed something? Where in the documentation did you find this little nugget?
