TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In Microsoft Manual of Style.chm, there's a topic titled "Click":
"In general, use click, rather than choose or select, to refer to a
user's choosing or selecting a command or option. If a user can set an
option to use either a single click or a double-click, use the default
mode when documenting a feature. But do explain the various options in
Help and in the user's guide. Do not use click on or click at; 'click in
the window' is acceptable, however. Note It's okay to omit 'click OK' at
the end of a procedure if the interface makes it clear that clicking the
button is necessary to complete the procedure."

Cool. Where does the MMOS mention the Next button?
