IN CASE YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT, TRY THIS:

put ?? into theValue
repeat with theValue = theValue+1 to theValue +100
IF theValue mod 20 = 0 THEN EXIT REPEAT
end repeat
put theValue

When I click the increase button, I want it to increase to the next highest value that is evenly divisible by 20. So if the field has a value of 19, a click will set the value to 20. If the field has a value of 121, a click would increase  it to 140.
