if you're getting a continue button in the status bar, FileMaker is paused per your script. nothing you're doing in AppleScript should be able to effect a pause in FMPro. pausing and resuming in FMPro should be managed within your script.

to set a pop-up list, tell FMP to generate its value list from a field in the database, and populate that field with data from your AppleScript script, with each value separated by a carriage return. the best implementation of this technique would be to have your value list derive from a field in a related, single-file database. if you get your value list from a multi-record file, be sure to always set your value list contents field on the first record. otherwise, you could end up with values from fields in numerous records, which may not be what you want.

In FM Pro 5.5?

I have a script that runs fine in applescript running
as an applet or in script editor. After placing that in
ScriptMaker and tying it to a button, when I run it
I get a (cancel or continue) script buttons at left of
status area.

How can I automate the de selection of these buttons
and why am I getting these buttons?

Also, what is the syntax to set the values of a pop-up
list with a variable list from applescript? Could not find
any examples of that anywhere?
