Re: Procedural syntax: "Click to expand" vs. "Expand by clicking"

[Yves Barbion <yves -dot- barbion -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Thanks to all who replied (and sorry for starting an apparently "lively" 
discussion ;-)).

I'm going for answer [C] and I should have checked the Microsoft Style 
Guide (MSTP)  more carefully. One of the examples they give is:

*1* Select the text you want to move or copy.

*2* Do one of the following:

   * To move the selection, click the *Cut* button on the toolbar.
   * To copy the selection, click the *Copy* button on the toolbar.

*3* Position the insertion point in the new location, and then click 
*Paste*.


Hence: To expand the folder, click the plus sign.


Best regards
