RE: Which usage: Click, Find, or even Go to

[Elaine Logan <culross77 -at- msn -dot- com>]

I use Select for choosing from a pulldown menu.
 
I use Go to for URLs and links.
 
Click is OK for the start menu or application toolbar items such as File.
 
When people need to click, I tell 'em click. :)
 
I've seen Go to used for toolbar items also.
 
I find it helps to keep consistent inside a document set, or a help system.
