Dumb Newbie Questions -- 2 of N

[DunbarX at aol.com]

I remember when a button in HC was first (v.2.2) embellished into a 
container. This seemed silly, though the possibilities were intriguing. You might 
say that a new custom property, theContainerNess, was now built into this 
familiar object, and it could hold text.

So you then could "get btn myBtn", and the text would appear. This is not 
what buttons were made for, but it was just a simple disconnect from an old 
habit to embrace it.

I, early on (1987), thought commands and functions ruled, and properties 
were cute and useful but inherently of a lower class. I was wrong, and ever so 
much more so given custom properties.
