Can anyone recommend a good Character User Interface (CUI) terminology book.
I'm working with developers who insist on calling various commands at the
bottom of a character-mode screen "buttons." We've had several good-natured
discussions, but they continue to give me this "RCA-dog" look when I tell
them that a "button" is an OOP term solely of the GUI domain. They're
making me crazy.
Thanks for your help.
