Refer to new group?

[Phil Davis]

Not so. Try this:

    create button "first"
    create button "second"
    create button "third"

    put the name of button 1
    group button 1 and button 2
    put CR & the name of button 1 after msg

Under your scenario, I would expect the name of button 1 to be "first" 
both times we put the name. But the script yields this:

    button "first"
    button "third"

Certainly there may be cases where your scenario does happen, but my 
simple test is not one of those cases.  :-)
