[gradsusr] text garbling when using buttons

[Jeffrey Duda]

I also have my IT guy in the meteorology department here looking into it.
Here are some relevant code lines in my script:

'set rgb 90 100 100 100'
'set rgb 91  50  50  50'
'set rgb 92 200 200 200'
'set button 1 90 91 92 2 90 92 91 6'

 'draw button 1 9 8 0.75 0.25 >'
 'draw button 2 8 8 0.75 0.25 <'
 'draw button 3 10 8 0.75 0.25 STOP'
 'swap'
 'q pos'
 buttonnum = 0
 buttonnum = subwrd(result,7)
  if (buttonnum = 1)
   tt = tt + 1
   'redraw button 1 1'
  else
   if (buttonnum = 2)
    tt = tt - 1
    'redraw button 2 1'
   else
    if (buttonnum = 3)
     break
    else
     say "click on a button to continue"
    endif
   endif
  endif
