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.

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. I change my vote from my own solution
to this one.
