Judy, apart from the ID problem, it's a matter of practicality.
If your students come back to a line of script in 6 months time and it says:
    set the label of btn ID 8765 to "Whatever"

they are not going to have a clue what is going on.

However if it says:
   set the label of btn "PrintSelectedText" to "Whatever"
they are going to be able to see immediately what it is.

Like Richard, I really like the way Rev allows you to have separate
names & labels, so that labels can be changed to suit customer
preferences, languages or what ever you like, while keeping the name
the same so all your scripts still work.

Cheers,
