Web-based interface issues

[Deborah Hemstreet <dvora -at- tech-challenged -dot- com>]

Hi All,

Following up on the GUI question, I have my own GUI question, but as it 
relates to web-based interfaces.

When I use my browser to open up a software application... what is the 
most commonly used terminology:

Window
Screen

I don't want to refer to browser all the time, since our users know they 
are a browser window... basically, its the same as any software, with 
dialog boxes, command buttons, option boxes, etc. The legacy 
documentation refers to screens and windows, with no consistency... so 
I'd like to pick the name for the main display (with menu bars, 
commands, information etc.) that is consistent and clear.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask - I've probably forgotten 
tons of info that you need to give me some wise ideas.

Thanks!

Deborah
