maybe:
on mouseUp
put the number of buttons of me into nor
put 1 into counter
repeat with n = 1 to nbr
if not the hilite of button n of me then next repeat
-- the above line could go first
put the short name of button n of me into tName
put counter "." && tName & cr after theList
-- combine the two repeat loops
add 1 to counter
end repeat
put line 1 to -1 of theList into theList -- no trailing return
put line 1 to tCutoff of theList into field "final"
-- tCutoff is the number of lines fitting into the first fld
put line tCutoff + 1 to -1 of theList into theRest
if theRest <> empty then
put theRest into fld "final2"
show fld "final2"
end if
end mouseUp
