    A BASIC Stamp can easily be programmed to do what you want.

    Just order a Homework board. Radioshack sells it if you want to get it locally, it's listed " How Microprocessors Work ". Of course the Parallax website has them as well.. That would be simple to do yourself, cheaper too... Probably wouldnt take 10 mins to rig up... If you go that route, you'll need another switch, since the kit comes with 2... http://www.parallax.com/Store/Microcontrollers/BASICStampProgrammingKits/tabid/136/CategoryID/11/List/0/SortField/0/Level/a/ProductID/313/Default.aspx

    Shouldnt be to bad, if you want one button to control a ground on one load, a 2nd push go to a 2nd load, then a 3rd push to a 3rd load, it could be done. You could do it by time too, a 1 sec push of the button send a ground to one load, a 2 sec push of the button for another load, etc. You'd be able to "jump" between loads depending on how long the button is held down.. I've never tried it but it sounds straight forward to me.. You'd just have to experiment with it.. I'm a newbie myself, and that sounds easy to me.. Just order a kit, go through the exercises to get familar with things.. I did all the stuff in the Homework board kit that I posted a link to, in a weekend, I had messed with things similar in the past, but not knowing what I was doing, just going off what other people told me to do. After the weekend I had a good understanding of things and was able to come up with my own stuff.. It's a ton of fun too..

    Could you specify the voltage and current requirements of the 'LINE TO GROUND" is it a logic signal pulled to ground (very low current) or something else?

    Think Inside the box first and if that doesn't work..
    Re-arrange what's inside the box then...
    Think outside the BOX!
