[austechwriter] Enter vs. Type

I am getting pressure from US colleagues to use 'Enter' instead of 'Type'
when referring to typing something into a field. They claim this is "more
American". This is against the recommendation of the MS style guide, and my
own inclination and experience. Is this in fact the more common usage in the
US?

Wendy
