Have noticed that when using a button I have to define a unique function
to associate with the specific button. I cannot just use a single function,
then update the string (skrpad in this case).
Also does the button label got to be unique, or is it just to give the button
some text to display on the button ?
(defvar skrpad "TODO-0")
(defun montext (button)
(with-help-window (help-buffer)
(insert skrpad)))
(defun mondu ()
(interactive)
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "Mondu")
(setq mon-skrpad "TODO-1")
(insert-button "[1]" 'action 'montext)
(setq mon-skrpad "TODO-2")
(insert-button "[2]" 'action 'montext)))

Try this:
(defun mondu ()
(interactive)
(let* ((skrpad (list "TODO-1" "TODO-2"))
(montext (lambda (button)
(with-help-window (help-buffer)
(insert (pop skrpad))))))
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "Mondu")
(insert-button "[1]" 'action (lambda (b) (funcall montext b)))
(insert-button "[2]" 'action (lambda (b) (funcall montext b))))))

It is a good implementation.
I wanted to print the n-th entry in the list upon pressing
the n-th button without removing items from the list.
So I did this change. To the lambda function I added n to specify
the n-th entry in the list. What do you think of this ?
(defun mondu ()
(interactive)
(let* ( (skrpad (list "mon-lw" "mon-kk"))
(montext (lambda (button n)
(with-help-window (help-buffer)
(insert (nth n skrpad))))) )
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "Mondu")
(insert-button "[1]" 'action (lambda (b) (funcall montext b 0)))
(insert "\n")
(insert-button "[2]" 'action (lambda (b) (funcall montext b 1))))))

Yes, this is certainly better. (I realized after posting that using
`pop' was a poor choice, but it was too late for me to follow up.)

Do the button labels have to be unique ("[1]", "[2]") or can they use the same
text such as ("[-]", "[-]")
