Re: Pull-down menu

[Metzger Karen <Metzger_Karen -at- PRC -dot- COM>]

Thank you... let me clarify:

For the standard menu bar menus, I say "pull-down" or "pull-down menu."
However, for all other "pop-up-type" menus, which appear as fields on dialog
boxes, I say "drop-list."

I am interested in comments on this practice.
Thanks,
Karen M.
