Hi,
We have a button on one of our windows called "Amend". Clicking the button
allows you to change all the fields for a particular financial security.
I don't think "Amend" is the correct word to use (based on Oxford 10th and
Macquarie 3rd definitions). I would rather see the noun "Edit" used. "Edit"
also has the advantage of being familiar to most people (thanks to Unix,
Microsoft and others).
I would like your opinions please.
