Re: Quick, Help

According to the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications:

Use *log on to* to refer to connecting to a network and *log off from* (or
simply log off) to refer to disconnecting from a network.  Do not use log
in, login, log onto, lof off of, logout, sign off, or sign on.  An exception
is when other terms are dictated by the interface.

Use logon only as an adjective, as in *logon password*, not as a noun.

        Dear List-ers

        I checked the archive but couldn't find this one.  I was sure I saw
the
        thread at one time or another.

        Hopefully, this will be a simple one or the other response.  I
        definitely don't have time for a lengthy thread because I'm leaving
to
        go out of state after today and must finalize this document before
        leaving.

        Which is grammatically correct:

                Logon    OR    Login

        This is in reference to a screen (i.e., When this program starts,
the
        log?? screen appears)

        Thanks for your TW expertise.

        Cassandra
