Alexia et al:

Following ridiculous logic, the appropriate phrase
would probably be something similar to:

"Move the cursor so that it points to the OK
button and click the primary mouse button"

Lots of words, but probably accurate. :-}

While I still think "click" is simply technically
inaccurate, I can understand that "select" might
be imprecise -- anyone have a better term?

Always looking to improve :)
