Yes, I saw your pos right after I sent mine. I'm on digest, so that
happens sometimes.

I already acknowledged yesterday that ""Press ENTER or click OK." would
be a better choice.

 

I do want to make sure that the precaution is taken that for each
instance where this is used, neither of them is a wrong choice. In other
words, even if there is an OK button, pressing ENTER should have the
same effect as clicking OK.

I never include the word button..it's redundant.

"Click ENTER or OK."

-----------------------------

I don't think that'll work, because ENTER is a key you press, not a
button you click,
