Thanks, Mark. Right after I posted this I started experimenting with that technique and it looks promising. I just thought there might be a more direct way to do it. 

I just found this from the list in Nabble, from Klaus:

  create button in group "foo"

But that won't work for me, because I am taking a snapshot then adding it to the group. I think I'll use Mark's suggestion.


Regards,

Devin
