Sir, I pasted your code into a new notebook and executed it.
I get
NotebookObject[] where "Untitled-2" is in the square brackets.
Somehow I expected to see a grid of buttons. Other
responders seemed pleased with the results but I don't
understand it. Did I do something wrong or did I just
misunderstand what to expect?
I'm using V6. Thanks.
