I'd definitely go for the second, and have a table of the required
texts, so I could just code:
	if current_page<max_pages then
		current_page+=3D1
		setText(MLText,texttable[current_page])
	end if
end procedure.

If you put several buttons at the same place, without calling
SetVisible() like a maniac, then (I haven't tested this) Windows won't
know which one to pass the click message to, and will always send it
to the first or the last, or maybe even all the buttons.
