Members of the Wolfram Research Technical Support staff present articles on problems and questions we encounter. In this column, we give examples of writing buttons with graphics as labels, using a kernel-created notebook as a dialog box for user input, and fitting multiple functions to data with one set of parameters. The first two examples use front-end programming features of Mathematica 4; the fitting example runs under 3.0 or 4.
