-
- The reason is because only one option button may contain a value of '1' at
- any time. You can overcome this by grouping them in separate areas.
- Therefore each will have a value of 1 in its own area.

-
- You may not be setting them to 1 to start with. Try clicking on any one and
- click on anpther. It should now change. Each sub-frame will have its
- own perception of which option is set.
