Hi,

This is working to a point,  when the user presses the 2 button for  
example the 1 in the edit field disappears and two is put in it's place
what could I do to save the 1 and when 2 is pressed add the two and so  
on and so forth?

case 1
stxt$ = FN ButtonTextString$ (1278)

DEF SETBUTTONTEXTSTRING (1278,"1")
case 2
stxt$ = FN ButtonTextString$ (1278)

DEF SETBUTTONTEXTSTRING (1278,"2")
