Re: Nitpicky little style question

Hello,

Since you are working in a Windows environment, I would follow the
Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications, 3rd Ed.  It should
answer all of your terminology questions.

Regards,

Gary

Good morning, everybody!

I've converted one of old Robohelp systems (which we apparently never
used and probably won't) to a web-based system.  Reading through the
files, I found a "How to use Windows" section-this was written during
a
transition from our old VAX system to a Windows based system-and
started
wondering if anyone says "radio button" anymore.  

Given that everyone who works here either doesn't remember what Unix
or
AS400 was (is, for some of you out there) or is familiar with Windows,
should I just use "click," "select," and so on?
