Mary Ann asks what to call the help in that little single-line description at
the
bottom of the window.
Mary Ann, our developers call the line itself the "status line," and the
information
that is in it is called the "status line help." Applicable information in this
line
can include valid ranges of input, currently selected units of measure, etc.
Hope this helps.
