There are some days, rare maybe, when things just work! The whole point of this button was to hide or show objects. So, it dawned on me that I could hide or show whichever of the two buttons that Larry says I needed was active and place on on top of the other - there's no text, although that would work as long as the size fits - and bingo!
Click on the "show" button and the hidden objects appear, the "show" button disappears and the "hide" button appears in its place. Click on the "hide" button and the reverse occurs. I can see a lot of fun to be had in the future with this little gubbins - and no reason to limit it to two buttons...
