lists and explanations

[Aoidìn Scully <ascully -at- FLEXICOM -dot- COM>]

I need to canvass a few opinions, folks.

I'm explaining how to perform a series of steps for a procedure and
have to give more information on a particular point.
For example: "Select the document type from the drop-down list. There
are five different document types..."

So, do you think I should give it after the step in question, or refer
them to another part of the document, where I've given an explanation? I
don't want to break up the sequence of steps, but at the same time, I
don't want them to be looking all over for the explanation.

What do ye think?

Thanks,

Aoidin
