Rob Hudson asked about <<general-purpose style guides that describe
"technical language." For example, "use Click instead of Click On.">>

Rob, you can probably find what you're looking for in one or more of these:

IBM's style guide (free PDF) http://www-03.ibm.com/easy/page/1387

Sun's style guide (about $30)
http://www.sun.com/books/catalog/sun_tech_pub.xml

Microsoft's style guide (about $20)
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/6074.aspx

HTH,
Marci
