This is not easy in DVDA, even version 3, because DVDA doesn't let you use the "flags" (I think there are 16 of them) that are part of the DVD spec.

I have done this, however, and I'm trying to remember what I did ...

There are several ways, depending on how you want the navigation to work. I just tried one of these and, in DVDA3 it works great. I don't have DVDA 2 installed anymore, so I can't test it there to see if this depends on some features in DVDA3.

What I did was import the same MPEG-2 file 15 times (for my test, I just did it three times). Put it in the project list on the left, outside of any menu areas. For each instance of that file, set the in and out points so it only plays that one chapter or, if you want to play from that chapter until the chapter ends, then put the in point at that chapter and leave the end point at the end of the file. Then, for that instance of the media, click on End Action and specify the destination as whatever menu was used to initiate the action to play this media, and select "Destination Button" as the button that initiated the action. This will then be the button highlighted. When the chapter is finished, the DVD goes back to the menu, and the button pressed is the one that is highlighted.

If the user presses the menu button on the remote to bail out before the chapter is finished, they will go back to the menu and find the first button highlighted. To change this behavior you will also have to change, for each instance of the media, the Remote Buttons behavior. Change the Destination, and the Destination Button, just as you did for the end action. That should do it.
