I am using HyperCard 2.0v2.  I want to "gray out" some buttons when they
are not appropriate.  I could make a separate icon that shows gray to
use when the button is not available and then hiding one icon and showing
the other.  This seems unnecessarily heavy-handed.

Does HyperCard provide something analagous to "disable" (which works for
menus) to use with buttons?
