alright, the topic might not be very clear so let's try to explain what I want to do

I am authoring from scratch Dark crystal which I have on a VHS tape.
To make it look like a little bit more attractive, I am adding menus to start the movie, select chapters and choose the audio format.

I have 2 audio tracks. the original one in mpeg and a dolby digital one I manage more or less to create using cooledit and AC3 encoder in scenarist
In the audio menu, I have 4 buttons:
- 1 to select the AC3 track
- 1 to select the mpeg track
- 1 to play the movie
- 1 to go back to the main menu

The problem I am having is that when I select (press enter on the remote or in the simulation window) either the AC3 track or the mpeg track, I'd like to highlight button 3 (play) so that I can start to play straight away (by pressing enter again) instead of using the keys to move the selection to the 3rd button.
I know it is possible since I have some DVDs with this feature but I don't know how to do it in scenarist
Thanks

Click 'link', select jump to cell, select the menu you are in and the button you want ot highlight. Should look something like:

SetSTN subpicture=X:ON; LinkCN MYMENUNAME-t-scn-cell, BUTTON=Y
