I need some help with functions.

-----------------------------------

Okay I'm making a program that will solve the tower of hanoi game. I think I've got the proper function to solve it but I'm not quite sure how to output information on how to solve the game eg. move disk 1 to peg 2, move disk 2 to peg 3, move disk 1 to peg 3, etc. 

if no one knows what I'm talking about here's a website with the game: http://www.cut-the-knot.org/recurrence/hanoi.shtml

Help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Oh right, sorry I forgot to post it. Okay here's the code I have so far: Private Function MoveTower(Disk As Integer, Source As Integer, Dest As Integer, Spare As Integer)
    If Disk = 0 Then
      MoveDisks Disk, Source, Dest
    Else
      MoveTower Disk - 1, Source, Spare, Dest
      MoveDisks Disk, Source, Dest
      MoveTower Disk - 1, Spare, Dest, Source
    End If
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MoveTower text1.Text
End Sub

Cannot MoveDisks and/or MoveTower affect the value of some text field?

The value of the text field should not be affected though because it's the number of disks in the game.
