 Page and index are 0-based, e.g. ("Groups", 0, 0) is the first button on page 1 in the groups window.
+Gregory Haynes gives a good explanation for its use when a function requires a handle which is yet to be created (here: [[:macros:function:Group.QuickCreateGroup]]):
+> The handle search converter which is used to interpret the "Location=Groups,1,10" is designed to find a handle based on the description. If there is no matching handle i.e. a recorded group then it will return null (nothing) and therefore it cannot be used to specify a location where nothing exists. What you need instead is a handle reference so you could do something like the following:
+>
+> ''Group.QuickCreateGroup(Handles.CreateHandleReference("Groups", 1, 10), userNumber:10, "Group 10", 0)''
