If you are actually using radioButtons, then you need to group them 
after which there are several properties you can use and set 
(hilitedButton, hilitedButtonID, hilitedButtonName). If the buttons are 
not radioButtons, them I'm not sure the automatic features will work, 
but as you have already tried, the hilites can be set manually. The 
problem with them unhiliting is because they are set to autoHilite i.e. 
they are trying to act like normal push buttons. Set the autoHilites of 
the relevant buttons to false and you can have full control over the 
button hilites.
