RE: Is there a more succinct way to say this?

["Cardimon, Craig" <ccardimon -at- M-S-G -dot- com>]

Good point.

 

I think I would say, "Press ENTER or click OK."

 

If I said, "Click ENTER or OK," someone would look for the ENTER button
to click on the login screen, rather than just hitting the one on their
keyboard.

I never include the word button..it's redundant.

 

"Click ENTER or OK."
