If appearence is the only think you care, then what you do is having a push button without any group. In ctlSelect you use CtlSetValue to remove highlighting.
This is the way I use it. Doesn't look elegant, but no violation of Palm rules.

Unfortunately my application is quite large (32 forms, and most of them are very complicated) and I would prefer to avoid having to change everything over to PilRC. I can use the PalmRez plugin for Creator to create the font resource, and I was hoping that there was a way to get Constructor to recognize it.
