it seems that the ubumenu randomly decides what to send as a value to pattrstorage (for xml file) when it is named...sometimes it sends its index and sometimes the evaluated menu item...any thoughts on how to choose one or the other?

The word pattrmode, followed by a 0 or 1, sets the method used by the

ubumenu object to report its internal state to the pattr object. When 

argument is 0 (default), the ubumenu reports its internal state by 

(e.g. item 3 of the list of items). When the argument is 1, the ubumenu

reports its internal state by symbol (e.g. item 'carrots' of the list

The reference manual says:
The word pattrmode, followed by a 0 or 1, sets the method used by the
ubumenu object to report its internal state to the pattr object. When  
the
argument is 0 (default), the ubumenu reports its internal state by  
number
(e.g. item 3 of the list of items). When the argument is 1, the ubumenu
reports its internal state by symbol (e.g. item 'carrots' of the list  
of items).

But without sending any "pattrmode" message, [ubumenu]'s behavior is 

indeed not consistent. I'd prefer a stable default value. Unfortunately 

I couldn't find a repeatable procedure to show this.

Forget it, sorry for the noise. Not in the help file but p365 of the manual.
