Getting Dialog Button Results?

I'm new at Euphoria (like 1 week), but I like how you can easily edit and compile an .exe file, with fairly straightforward language. To learn, I took on a project at work to store data in a database, using a form in a DOS window. I am trying to modify the mydata.ex program to do this, using David Cuny's routines for dialog boxes. I have been successful in creating different modules that work OK by themselves, and a "form", really a large dialog box with SLE fields, default values passed into the function, labels, and a few special buttons on the bottom. My problem is, I can't figure out how to use the results of the button click used to exit the dialog procedure. David's examples end by printing out "you exited with: New" where New is my button name. However, I want to use this button click to decide what to do next. I've tried assigning a variable to the result[1], and it prints with no problems, but I have been unable to get a "If result[1]="New" type of statement to work. Am I doing this correctly, or is the syntax wrong? Is it something to do with the result being stored as ASCII? How do I use the results David's button click routine to branch off where I want? Any help would save my sanity! Dave Owens
