Re: about the use of button

Evaluating Dynamic does not perform its action.  Only displaying the output of
Dynamic does that, but Button never displays its action.

Note that the documentation for Button has numerous examples which demonstrate
many of its usages.  Several of the examples point to the right way to do this
by using CompoundExpression...i.e., a semicolon-delimited expression.

Button[label, action1;action2]
