When I asked Staz about it a year or two ago, I was using the Geneva 9
versions, and it was regarding checkboxes. His response was pretty much
"that's the way it is" (Chris shoots straight). 

But I wanted to be sure, so I made a couple test buttons and now both radio
buttons and checkboxes are made fully gray with this statement:

BUTTON#500,_grayBtn,"Button Text",@rect,_checkbox_useWFont

Am I remembering wrong? I don't think so, because now I'm using OS8. I believe
OS8 has made checkboxes and radio buttons gray along with their text.

Could still be wrong,
