Not so. Try this:

   create button "first"
   create button "second"
   create button "third"

   put the name of button 1
   group button 1 and button 2
   put CR & the name of button 1 after msg

Under your scenario, I would expect the name of button 1 to be "first" both times we put the name. But the script yields this:

   button "first"
   button "third"

Certainly there may be cases where your scenario does happen, but my simple test is not one of those cases. :-)

If you use the "owner" method of getting the group's ID, be sure you refer to the child control by ID - its number will *always* be changed by the act of grouping it.

... if you refer to it as "control N", but not if you refer to it as "field N" (or "button N", etc).
