Well, labels help, as Horton and Spool have amply demonstrated in the
usability arena.

BUT, lacking labels, here's an idea. Do one "establishing" screen cap
showing the whole screen, then show the relevant pieces as necessary as
small graphics, either in a table summarizing all of them (my preference) or
embedded in text, as appropriate. You could even sneak in some descriptive
names.

Hope that's clear.
