Although you can't do it by the "normal" means (i.e. "set the layer of btn 2
of group 1 to 1"), you CAN do it like this:

lock screen
start editing group 1
set the layer of btn 2 to 1
stop editing
unlock screen

This has the same effect to the user (since the screen is locked), so you
might want to try that.

Not using those tokens ("row", "col") , I don't believe.

Images can go into fields; they take the place of a character.

I'll leave the rest of the questions to the RunRev folks...
