Thanks John, I agree totally. I am trying to settle on something which might be intelligible or at least easily translatable to users on other OSs and devices. Frank raised the issue with me while reviewing changes to the help manual importing section. I tried what he suggested out but my view on the end result is that it ends up being unintelligible to everybody and I may yet revert it.
I am not too concerned about fairly experienced users (they will figure it out) but the novice who comes in without too much experience of other OSs and computers is the real target - the one who gets hung up if the description is not exactly the way the box in front of him operates. They are becoming rarer beasts these days once they have grandkids to educate them properly. I personally am happy with the left click/tap and right click/tap notation and then let users translate that as required for their specific equipment/OS as necessary. My son is a leftie and he has never really had a problem translating automatically from the RH world unless the devices were physically right handed. The touchpads on my laptop and tablet with a touchscreen all respond to tap/s on either side of the touchpad or on the screen as expected so the click/tap may be the way to go. I don't use tablets too much so I'm not too au fait with the finer points of gestures in any case. I just blunder my way through.
