Thank you guys for your informative and rapid responses. I agree that .lua would be a better choice, especially for what I eventually want to do in the Addon. But I do have a better understanding of what needs to be done here. I have researched the material you've provided and through trial and error am still unable to get a CD on the button(s). There's 4 Trap buttons and the Launcher on this set up and I have included part of the beginning .xml. I have been working on the 1st trap-Explosive- and if you would again point me in the proper direction I will be able to get back to the 'Daily' marathon that is MoP. Thank you.
Sorry--have never included attachments before and not sure so I am placing an original part of the .xml here devoid of any changes that I tried.
