Looping over all buttons

[Bob Sneidar]

not for.

repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons of this card
  do "put the hilite of button x into button" & x
  -- a better way
  put the short name of button x into ButtonHilitesA[x]["name"]
  put the hilite of button x into ButtonHilitesA[x]["state"]
end repeat

Now you have a numbered array of button names and states.
