I have created a chapters page where one can view the many chapters. How do I link so that when I want to come back from that chapter it takes me to the chapters menu instead of the main menu?

use the "Buton" end action to take you to the next button in sequence in the chapters menu.. look to Tut #9 in the basic section of my tut website (I think that is the tut number you need )
