Hi Charles,
Here's an amended verison of your script that I think will work (untested).
on mouseUp
put the number of buttons of me into nbr
put 1 into x
repeat with n = 1 to nbr
put the short name of button n of me into tName
if not the hilite of button n of me then next repeat
add 1 to x
put x & "." & space & tName & cr after theList
end repeat
put round(the height of field "xyz" / the textheight of field "xyz",0)
into tMaxLines
put line 1 to tMaxLines of theList into field "FInal"
if x> tMaxLines then
put line tLines+1 to x into field "Final2"
else
put empty into field "Final2"
end if
end mouseUp
Pete
