Jim,
This works on my machine but as Sarah pointed out to me, it's actually
pointless since they should NEVER be different (i.e., it should never
pick something that is not on the list of options so why check? What I
really wanted to do was see if a CARD with that name existed (something
like "if pChoice is among the cards of this stack..." which doesn't work
because apparently, "the cards of this stack" is not a valid command.

I would suggest you do some testing to find the real cause(s) of the
situation.
There is a disconnect somewhere.
-- try this handler in a new stack with a single new option menu
button named "taskBar"
on menuPick theItem -- in a pulldown menu
get the text of button "taskBar"
--the dashes will indicate extra spaces
get it & cr & "--" & the short name of button "taskBar" & "--"
get it & cr & "--" & the label of button "taskBar" & "--"
get it & cr & "--" & theItem & "--"
put theItem is among the lines of IT into success
put it & cr & cr & success into msg
end menuPick
This success shows true.

I wish it was that simple but if that DOES turn out to be the
problem, there's something not quite right with Rev itself. From an
earlier post, I am comparing the pChoice that is passed by the
menuPick handler with "the text of button "taskBar"" which is the
button that sent me the pChoice in the first place so they should
both be getting their data from the same object and should therefore
be the same.
That is of course, unless the menuPick parameter is not a "true" line
but I would think I'd get a "chunk types don't match" message or
something like that.
This seems like a very simple thing but it's giving me fits!

If I type the lines:

When you use "is among", the entire line must match to get a hit. If
the line you are trying to match has any extra characters (maybe
"Movement History for Dummies") then the result is false. The two
strings must be identical.
If you are trying to match only the beginnings of lines, try
something like this:
if offset(cr & myChoice, cr & tLines) > 0 then...
