Ok, this has got to be a well known bug-a-boo, but I'm lost.
I have a script which reads:
   click at the loc of cd btn test with optionKey

And within cd btn test I have the handler:
   on mouseUp
      if the optionKey is down then ....

But the logic *never* executes.  When I manually click in the button with 
the optionKey, it works fine.  This happens with any modifier key used.  
All the documentation and manuals I can find read as if this is a 
perfectly valid operation to do.  What gives?  This problem exists in HC 
1.2.5 and 2.0v2.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
