I have a problem that's at related to this discussion, but it's just about a
single word. The company I work for has been using the term "tab folders"
for the tabs of a tabbed dialog box. Now I've never run into this term
before, and it seems silly to me, but I haven't been everywhere and maybe
it's standard somewhere.
Have I missed something? Does this come from something like PowerBuilder? Or
have they just made something up that I could eventually discourage.
