Checkbox script

[Peter Brigham MD]

It's easier to put the script at a higher level. Group the checkboxes  
and name them each with the exact text you want to insert, then put  
the following in the script of the group:

on mouseup
    put the number of buttons of me into nbr
    repeat with n = 1 to nbr
       put the short name of btn n of me into tName
       if not the hilite of btn n of me then next repeat
       put tName & ", " after theList
    end repeat
    delete char -2 to -1 of theList
    put theList into fld "disability"
end mouseup

That way the list is regenerated every time the user clicks any  
checkbox.
