I use "place the cursor on ..." instead of 'mouse over'.

Subject: Question about terminology
Quick question about some terminology...
I'm documenting a web based app and I have put the
fairly standard phrase "From the main menu, click ..."
Now the problem is you don't click, you just mouse
over to get the sub menu items to appear...
So what should I put? "From the main menu, mouse over
..." doesn't really work to say the least and I'm
kinda stumped as to what to put...
Thoughts?
