Each 'button' is an image registered as a button, typically lee has these buttons separated out in lines. You want to copy one of these lines and change hudname= and hudimage= then in state=1 add hudselection= and refer it to an other state where you hide the buttons and show another image such as the credits. Look for the NPC script for details on images.

I believe society is flawed; our notions on life, on child rearing, stem too far back to be of relevance in this day and time.
