Writing radio to a file

I think even this is not necessary.

Just create some radio-buttons, group them and that's all.

They should act as desired immediately.
I jsut tried it here at home and it worked...

You can query "the hilitedbuttonname of grp xxx".

This will give you the name of the button that is hilited in that group.

So you can script something like:

on mouseup ## or whatever
   put the hilitedbuttonname of grp "the difficult quiz" into 
url"file:quizresults.txt"
end mouseup

Don't forget to give the radio-buttons appropriate names ;-)
