- You just have to create a grayed-out icon to indicated
- disabled-ness, and then set the icon of the button to either the en-
- or dis- abled mode, as you wish. You can say "set icon..." (I think
- you have to use the ID number). Then in the button script, say
- something like : "If icon of me is [ID of disbaled icon] then exit
- mouseUp" I guess you're stuck if you don't want
- to use icons.
