Tareq,

I am about to go downstairs and teach little children English.
[I run a private language mini-school in Bulgaria although
I come from Scotland.]

BUT; to replace a script you can do something like this:

set the script of btn "XYZ" to fld "ABC"

and whatever is contained in field "ABC" will become the script
of button "XYZ".

I will have a think about the rest and get back to you at lunchtime.
