Check-box & radio button

Although I can offer an answer, your post is a bit of a mystery to me in 
one respect.

If this is opened in Rev you can create a custom property for the button 
and save its state there. If it is a standa-alone then you will need to 
save that custom property state to a file you can  read at startup or 
make it a substack.

You do?? Why?
1.  a field (except in a standalone mainstack) is saved when you say 
"save" for the stack, from the menu or script.
2. udirty is not a Rev property that I can find in the Dictionary.
3. you appear to be setting a variable which is promptly forgotten by 
Rev when you close the stack, but item 1 presumably comes to your rescue 
anyway.
