If programming tickles your fancy in any way, Perl is a good place to
start.  It's very forgiving of various logic methods and it has a large

languages and methods have gained popularity.

It appears as though it does from glancing through the script where the
word "label" appears.  It looks to be a clever way of accessing that
information via known commands and button actions.
