Maybe including the example will help.
1. Select the Production server (fmx01.ucc.usyd.edu.au) in the
left-hand (Hosts) pane of the Open Remote File screen.
2. Select EAT_registrations in the right-hand (Available Files) pane.
3. Click Open.
1. 'Account Name and Password' is selected by default on the login
screen.
2. Type your password in the field provided. (If it is the first
attempt to access the database, use the password supplied by the
database administrator. If it is not the first attempt, use your UniKey
password.)
3. Click OK.
My question is as to the suitability of the two 'conditionals' in step
5.
Thanks.
Matt

I agree wholeheartedly with you, Bob. A step should not contain more
than two processes for example, "Click on the XY button and then click
Next." If more information needs to be given it should be as follow-on
text, preferably indented under the stepped processes given.

Great question, and I don't have a reference.
I reckon that more than two lines of text is the max,
unless it is then broken up into
- sub-points
- a bulleted list
- a similar structure.
