Re: Buttons (bangles, beads...). Unless there has been substantive additions to the HTML language in the new version, I am reasonably sure that standard buttons for hyperlinking to another site or another page are simply GIF images stored on the localserver, and A HREF'd like everything else, but acting as a hypertext link. This is different from what are called "radio buttons" which are for interactive stuff, like when you are asked to send info or click a choice -- these are created by the FORM environment, which is used by doing the usual beginning double brackets, and the final double bracket slash around FORM, you start off with the FORM METHOD (what kind of activity you want to have happen) and inside all that tuck instructions what you would like the FORM to do (called an INPUT tag) -- one of the things that it can do is create radio buttons, checklist, reset buttons, text entry spaces (like this one here) and so on. This is all slightly more advanced HTML. The specific instructions are a bit too complicated to set out here.
