Thanks John.  Could you please show me how I would integrate that in to the following?

Grid[
 {{
   Text[Style["Compare Multiple Distributions:", Bold, Darker[Blue], 
     FontFamily -> "Ariel", 12]], Spacer[5],
   Row[{}],
   Row[{}],
   Button[Style["Normal v.\n Positive Skew", TextAlignment -> Center],
     Compare = 1, ImageSize -> {115, 45}], Spacer[10],
   Button[
    Style["Normal v.\n Negative Skew", TextAlignment -> Center], 
    Compare = 2, ImageSize -> {115, 45}], Spacer[10],
   Button[
    Style["Positive v.\n Negative Skew", TextAlignment -> Center], 
    Compare = 3, ImageSize -> {115, 45}], Spacer[10]
   }}]

Only 1 of the buttons can be depressed at a time so as 1 is clicked, the others are not.

Thank you.

Scott

See the last of the "Basic Examples" in the Setter documentation for something
which does exactly this.  SetterBar may also be of some interest to you.
