Repeat script does not work

[Peter Haworth]

I think you need to include the second repeat within the first repeat and
also fully qualify the references to button n, maybe something like this:

on mouseUp
   repeat with y = 1 to the number of cards of stack "xyz"
      if the mark of card y of stack "xyz"= true then
         put the number of buttons of card y of stack "xyz"into nbr
         repeat with n = 1 to nbr
            if the style of button n of card y of stack "xyz" is "checkbox"
and the hilite of button n of card y of stack "xyz" is true then
               put the uMyLabel of button n of card y of stack "xyz" into
tName
              put tName & cr after theList
            end if
         end repeat
      end if
   end repeat

   delete char -1 of theList
   put theList into field "recommendations"
end mouseUp
