Thanks to Ken and Geoff!
(To Ken: my first name is Signe Marie)
I have finally found a solution which works, but seems contradictory:
when I on opening the stack on Mac use - set lookandfeel to "os
native"- or - set lookandfeel to "mac" - I still can see no
difference in the two states. When I ask for: the lookandfeel, it
answers "Motif" which was the setting I had used earlier on. But when
I use: set lookandfeel to "windows 95" (still on Mac!!) the disabled
button's text is dimmed as it should be. It's all right for me that
the backgroundcolor does not change (as in MC2.3), and I am really
glad that the size of the button does not swell and become rounded
(on a standard btn). Now it remains to be seen if this setting will
affect other things in my programs (?)
