RE: "+" sign in a navigation tree

["Zuercher, Darrell" <dzuerche -at- tva -dot- gov>]

In addition, the Microsoft Style Guide (page 13) references unnamed
buttons, using the Minimize button as their example. So, my
recommendation would be "the Expand button" and "the Collapse button".

>From the Microsoft Style Guide:

"expand, collapse
Pertains to a folder or outline. The user can expand or collapse these
structures to see more or fewer subentries. A plus sign next to a folder
indicates that it can be expanded to show more folders; a minus sign
indicates that it can be collapsed."

Hi everyone...

What would be the "proper" term for the plus sign used to collapse or
expand 
the list in a navigation tree?

Is it just "the plus sign"? or is there something better? One of my QA
guys 
just asked me what it's called, and I couldn't even think of it.

Happy friday,
Kevin
