Hello,

I know that it is technically correct to split "setup", "login",
and "logout" into two words when using them as verbs but I see
them quite often as one-word verbs. The GUI for our new product
is replete with them. My inclination is to let them be since it
appears to me to be an emerging trend of usage in the industry.
What do you think?
