Hi Brasel

I believe the Microsoft Manual of Style states the term "Option button" is 
preferred.

Cheers... Rick :)

Subject: Nitpicky little style question


Good morning, everybody!

I've converted one of old Robohelp systems (which we apparently never
used and probably won't) to a web-based system.  Reading through the
files, I found a "How to use Windows" section-this was written during a
transition from our old VAX system to a Windows based system-and started
wondering if anyone says "radio button" anymore.

Given that everyone who works here either doesn't remember what Unix or
AS400 was (is, for some of you out there) or is familiar with Windows,
should I just use "click," "select," and so on?
