Apparently no one has heard of pushbuttons whose functions are changed as
required by present circumstances.  Certainly, as pointed out, the captain
has too many things to have at hand on his arm rest at any one time and
so the buttons would be relabeled as circumstances merited.  It would seem
silly to assume that the ion pod used to monitor ion storms would always
be in use and thus merit its own button at the captains reach!
