Is there a particular *aversion* to the use of "primary" and "secondary"
(gee, we might even be able to bring "tertiary" into the vocabulary of the
general public!) mouse buttons? I've written with this convention and
worked with documentation that uses it & find no confusion as long as it's
stated up front (in the "About this manual..." or whatever-it's-named
section) as a convention.
