manually:
edit background, add objects

via script:
copy btn x to grp Y
or
create button in group Y

Graphically: 

1. Click group to be edited
2. Click Edit Group on your button bar, or select it in the Object menu
3. Add your button (or paste it if you cut it previously) 
4. (very important) Click the Edit Group button (or menu) again or everything 
else you do from here on out will be done to the group! 

(ask me how I know)

Another way is:

- Place the button where you want it.
- Select the group
- Click Ungroup
- Shift click the new button so it's selected along with all the original
members of the group
- Click Group

LC remembers all the properties of the group and reinstates them (as long as
you don't close the card before grouping).

I believe there's a plugin available somewhere that provides ways of adding
controls to a group by re-layering but I can't remember what it's called.

There are several; Navigator (mine) is one, but it is ancient, unmaintained
and somewhat buggy at this point. I believe I already said this, but anyone
who still wants to use it can do so for free at this point. An even more
ancient version of navigator comes with your standard installation; you can
get an updated (but still ancient) version here:

Thanks Geoff.  Yes I remember seeing your note about that.  Sorry its' no
longer maintained, I've always found the maintenance of groups to be awkward
in LC, especially when you get into nested group situations.
