You folks are two for two so far, so I thought I'd toss another one at you
(by the way, thanks!). This one is radio buttons.

I can't find a stack that uses radio buttons. As far as I can tell, there is
no documentation on using them in either Goodman's book or the help stack
(should I take this as a hint? I NEED radio buttons). Goodman simply says
"you need a big script to handle radio buttons" which is stating the obvious
without telling me anything.

I know what I need to do to handle a set of radio buttons properly. What I
don't know, and can't find any documentation on, is (1) how to query the
state of a radio button ("hi, are you checked?") and how to alter it ("hey,
turn yourself on!"). Anyone know the magic incantation?
