Considering the audience in question are sitting in front of the computer,
reading instructions....HOLD DOWN should not indicate "holding down a
person" although I understand what you mean....but to get the point
across...HOLD DOWN could be used....
How about: Hold the BLAH key down and click ANOTHER BLAH button.
Again with Press you have the confusion of press and release or issues like
keep pressing etc both of which do not sound right - to me! :o).
Regards and thanks,

Earlier today someone mentioned (sorry, deleted my emails and unable to
re-read them) that you don't actually physically 'hold' a key. I can't
quite envisage how you 'hold down' a key, whereas it's easy to see how
you 'hold down' a person, for example. You could 'press down' a key, but
that's a tautology... I'm sticking with press :-)

I think 'hold down' does get the message across quite well :)

Hi Naomi Kramer.
Suggestion: Hold down the X key and click the Y button (simultaneously).
'simultaneously' being optional !?
How's that sound?
Regards and thanks,
