Group command syntax

[Paul Hibbert]

Mike,

The dictionary states…

Parameters:
   The objectList is a list of object references, separated by the word "and".
   
I'm not saying it's the correct way, but if you need to build the group command via script, this does work…

   put "group" && the name of button "a" && "and" && the name of button "b" into xx
   do xx

HTH
