Here an example of what you could write

   put the number of btns of this cd into tbtns
   put the long name of sb "lprogres" of cd 1 of stack "B" into tprog
   set the endvalue of le_prog to tbtns
   palette "B"
   repeat with x = 1 to tbtns
     set cursor to busy
     set the thumbpos of tprog to x
     put the short name of btn x of stack "A" & cr after tNames -- or 
whatever you want to do
    end repeat
   close stack "B"
   put tNames into fld <YourFldName>


hope this help.

Cheers.
