Robert, I think I understand what you mean now. There's no way within an interact to somehow set the state of the controls. They are stuck at whatever state they were when you last pressed a button or set a menu item. There are still many limitations to interact; it certainly doesn't do everything needed to make all sorts of gui's one might want! Unfortunately, I'm not going to add any functionality to interact for at least the next month or two -- if people want more functionality they will have to add it. That said, it is helpful for people to make a list of everything they want/need, since that will make implementing it (by whoever does it) much easier.
