MOS says "do not use press as a synonym for click."

So, if I am documenting an ordering process where you
have to choose either a "yes" or "no" button before
you can go to the next screen, would it be "press" or
"click"?

Also, am I correct in assuming that "button" is the
term I use to describe an action-oriented item?

TIA,
mike w.
