Ah, I understand better now.
Something like this should work.  Its just a quicky, no time to really test
before my doc appointment.


on mouseup
local tInstructions -- gotta have this cause a non declared isn't seen as
empty

   repeat with i = 1 to 4
      switch
         case the backgroundcolor of button ("b" & i) is "255,255,255"
            if tInstructions is empty then put "W0" into tInstructions
            if char -2 of tInstructions is not "W" then put comma & "W0"
after tInstructions
            add 1 to char -1 of tInstructions
            break
         case the backgroundcolor of button ("b" & i) is "0,0,255"
            if tInstructions is empty then put "B0" into tInstructions
            if char -2 of tInstructions is not "B" then put comma & "B0"
after tInstructions
            add 1 to char -1 of tInstructions
            break
         default
            if tInstructions is empty then
               put "E" into tInstructions
            else
               put comma & "E" after tInstructions
            end if
      end switch
   end repeat

   put tInstructions
end mouseup
