ADEW may be what you are looking for. Try looking through the
documentation in andrew/doc/adew, starting with the overview, and
proceeding through the tutorial and the reference manual. You can use
the buttonv object, which can deal with icons if they have been
converted to characters in a font. Paste a page object in your
application where you want your button sets. Next, paste in an lset,
split it up, and paste in the desired buttons. Then use the paste option
on the 'Flip' menu card to paste in another lset for your next set of
button. The documentation should get you working from there.
