RE: what do you call it?

Ladonna:

Actually the MS MoS (MMSTP) is pretty helpful and specific about this.
Here are the options they describe:

Group box: Frame or box that encloses a set of related options. In
Windows XP, a group box can be indicated by a single line that unifies
the options below it. The group box is a visual device only.

If necessary for clarity, you can use either "under" followed by the
label or "in the [name of group] area."

Examples: For an option button called Small Caps in a group called
Effects, you could say:

Under Effects, click Small Caps.

-- or --

In the Effects area, click Small Caps.

You don't need to invent another term.
