Hello CM,

An item's ID is used to identify the button for cl commands.
See help Index "cl commands and functions", "Overview of CL functions".

Alternatively you can identify a button by its index number,
which is its position in the list, but that's not so good
because if you add or remove a button before the target button
its index number changes so you have to change all your
cl commands which related to that button.
That's why Bruce added the ID thing, about a year ago,
as a permanent identifier for a command list item.

In previous versions, we gave an ID to a button like this:
Name: text to show<id=idname>

Now Bruce has added a separate text field for the ID
in the item editing dialog.

In the main command list dialog it still looks like:
  ThisName<id=ThisID>
to avoid adding an extra column.

BTW the Info button next to "Id:" is for adding an Info
to the Tooltip, which is one line down.
It seems the new style dialog needs some fine tuning.
