Hi Jon,

Thanks for the entries and links on the new web site, which is looking great.

I suppose we just have to muddle along as best we can with the tick / check thing when writing help
for programs in English, and thanks for letting me know about that. I see from a google search that
some sites use "check/tick" or "check (tick)".

Checking some Microsoft help, it says "Clear the check", which would be understood in Uk English,
and "Select the ... check box". So one could say "Select In | Open Now", or "Clear In | Open Now" as
another possibility for "tick (check)" and "untick (uncheck)".

One does what one can. :)

I had no intention of having you change it (I happen to love colloquialisms), but just didn't know if you were aware. However:

This seems to be an eminently sensible solution. Put it in Version 5.2, please!

Cheers,
Jon
