RE: What do you call the dot in a radio button?

[Wade Courtney <wade -dot- courtney -at- nocpulse -dot- com>]

As far as I know there is no name for this dot.  The radio button is either
in a selected state or not.  You could show a screen capture of each state
and label them appropriately.

My .02 centavos.
