Clicking on a grid is a little easier. For your BS you could have basically used:
x:=(mnpx-160) div 40 + 2
y:=(mnpy-159) div 40 + 1

When you are clicking on a button (and not using the GUI) your need to check 5 things

mouseBtn = 1 and mouseX >= buttonX and mouseX <= buttonX + width and mouseY >= buttonY and mouseY <= buttonY + height

eh... another way of doing it would be to grab your X/Y values... and then just figure out what cell its clicked on. Easiest example would be if grid starts at 0,0 and each cell is 10 pixels wide.

code:

%get x/y values %row is y/10 %column is x/10 cell(x/10,y/10) = true

or something... basically figure out what part of the grid is being clicked.

When you say buttons, do you mean that you are clicking on a box to do something? Something like:

code:

var mx,my,mb:int % the button drawfillbox(50,60,90,80,green) loop mousewhere(mx,my,mb) if mb =1 and mx > 50 and my > 60 and mx < 90 and my < 80 then put "The green button" end if end loop
