I want to be able to use variables to navigate around pages within
Toolbook. Basically, on each page I need 3 hotspots, one to move
forward, one to move left and one to move right - obviously each going
to new pages. I'd like to be able to put the hotspots on the
background and attach scripts to each one and use the enterPage
function to set up variables to indicate where to go from each hotspot
so that I only need 3 scripts (1 on each hotspot) and an enterPage
script for each page.

I've got the navigation working by putting the hotspots on the page,
but this means that I have to put the scripts on all the pages.

I want the enterPge to look something like this

to handle enterPage
	forward = "page2"
	left = "page3"
	right = "page4"
end enterPage

and the scripts on the hotspots to look something like this

on buttonClick
	go to page forward  (or left or right)
end buttonClick

Can I do what I want to do, and if so how? I hope I've made myself
clear.
