Loading and appending Web buttons
When you load a Web button file, the buttons currently in the palette are replaced by the button file.
If you don’t want to lose the current buttons, you should save the current buttons in a button file (see
"To save buttons:" on page 711).
When you append a button file, the current buttons are not replaced. Instead, the buttons in the file
are added to the end of the palette.
