Hello,
I am in the process of editing two manuals written for a web-based
application. The author used the word screen to mean both the physical
screen and the browser window/page.
Now screen is best used to describe the screen on the monitor, but how
should one refer to the page in the browser window? After all, it's an
application and not a web site, in the traditional sense.
