Create every button with an event handler associated like this:

    btAbutton = new Button(me) as "Button1"      ' first button
    btAbutton2 = new Button(me) as "Button1"      ' another button
    btAbutton2.tag = 5

The event handler for click will be:

    sub Button1_Click()
      if LAST=btAbutton ...
      if LAST=btAButton2...
      if LAST.tag=5 then...   ' the same as before

So you can:
    1. Create buttons, and keep the variable around
    2. Create buttons without keep variables around, but setting 
different TAG properties
    3. Noye that you can use other fields other than Tag (for example, Text)
    4. You can group all the buttons in the same event handler, as 
before, or you can use more than one handler


Quick response - I hope it is clear. If not, let us know.
