create the circle button, then use the split polygon tool to create the shapes that you want. --- Select the faces that you have just made and extrude faces---- (hit the center manipulator, make sure you give yourself enough resolution when extruding. --- stop when you've moved the extruded faces down enough to suite your tastes--- select and extract the originaly selected faces now at the bottom of the tube you just extruded. ---- Select the newly extracted object--delete history- select all of the faces and extrude up. When the button is as tall as you want it-- select the faces at the top of the new button, extrude-- select the center manipulator and uniformly scale them in( do this 2 or 3 times to give a smooth top when you convert to sub-d's or smooth polys).

Hope that helps
