How about something like:
put ID of group 1 into GrpID
put (the number of controls) into xMax
repeat with x = 1 to xMax
if the ID of (the owner of control x) <> GrpID then next repeat
put the name of control x & cr after tList
end repeat
answer tList
Each control's "owner" property tells you what control or object
contains it. Maybe that will get you there.
