Re: Variety in Tech Writing (was: Display, Displays, or Appears)

Yes, that's pretty much what i had in mind (I would 
probably refer to both the list and the window using 
whatever name was in their title bars, though).  If I 
clicked on "File" and didn't get the dropdown list, or 
on "Print" and didn't get a print window my first 
thought would be that either (a) the program wasn't 
working correctly, or (b) the writer of the instruction 
wasn't.
