[MWForum]removing buttons

[Wendy Petti]

Bob, just change the last line before END to this:

dolist [i :remove_buttons] [remove :i]

and you'll be all set.

The quotation mark precedes the variable when you are defining it.  The
colon precedes the variable when you are calling the value of the variable.

By the way, your procedure outputs the button names to the command center
just before eliminating them.  You might consider eliminating this command:

show :remove_buttons

if you don't really need to know the button names as you're eliminating
them.
