Thank you Peter, that makes more sense. As you can probably imagine, first I made it work, then I convinced myself why. Just another of my bad habits... Secondly, if there was ever a point to having the buttons in the OK.but list, it is not going to work anymore because you are assigning each element to a different list, one per function environment. Yes. I was aware of this but what is not going to work ? isn't the OK.but list simply "storage" ? can it be used in some other way ? The OP should answer if there is indeed some other application intended that might fail, but I assumed there really wasn't a reason for this exercise of creating the same button in a loop except for convenience. > A more straightforward fix could be to do > > command = local({i <- i; function() PressedOK(i)}) Ouch! the thought to use local crossed my mind and was discarded in favor of other (failed) attempts to "store" i before evaluation. This is much better. Thank you again.
