I would really like to know how to make a button that when clicked, deletes the last letter of the user's name, I don't even need all the code, just a line of code containing the delete stuff and I can implement it from there. Any help is much appretiated in advance.

No code, but the philosophy about it.
First you get the name, use copy_text from the first letter to the text's length(-1). Then set the name to the new variable created using copy_text
:)
Good luck.

In response to Maz
it would be done as follows:

name = copytext(name,1,lentext(name))

no -1, because then it'd take 2 letters off the name, remember, copytext stops at the 3rd arguments location/number.
