You can also do it without putting any code in the buttons (or just a
double-hyphen comment to make sure there's no mouseUp handlers in there),
and add this to the group script:

on mouseUp
  repeat with K1 = 1 to the number of buttons of me
    set the hilite of btn K1 to (the short name of btn K1 = the short name
of the target)
  end repeat
end mouseUp

But either way, you get the idea...
