When you document a procedure, do you document the toolbar method or the
menu/command method or both, and why?

The toolbar method:

1. Click {picture of toolbar icon}

The menu/command method:

1. Choose File - New.

Both:

1. Choose File - New.
{picture of toolbar icon}

Disclaimers:

- I looked in the archives already.

- This is not a discussion about the wording of "Choose File - New" or
"From the File menu, choose New," or "Click the pointing-device pointer
at the File pull down menu in the menu bar and clickify the New menu
command option thang." That's in the archives.

Thanks,
