Dear listmembers,

What is your opinion about "press" vs. "keep" when it comes to buttons on
instruments etc?

To the best of my knowledge, you PRESS A BUTTON if there's a brief contact
between your finger and the button but you KEEP A BUTTON DOWN if the contact
is a bit longer.

However, I seldom see this distinction in operator's manuals nowadays.
