Do you mean that you have 5 radio buttons in a group?

The easiest way to use a radio button to place a value in a text field is to place a script, like the one below, in the calculation script for the text field.

event.value = this.getField("MyRadioButtons").value;

where the value exported from the Radio button group is the "export" value set in the "options" tab of properties dialog for each of the individual radio buttons.
