I'm surprised to learn that button UVALUES are the "most
conventional way" to learn which button was selected in
event handlers, since I only rarely use this method. I
prefer to use the button value itself, since this value
is always obvious to me when I look at the button and I
need all the visual clues I can get when I am writing 
programs. :-(

But then again, I've always been slightly out of step
with everyone else. It's a burden I've had to bear 
all my life. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say a vote from me in any election
is almost a kiss of death. :-(
