I'm not sure I got my point across. I admit I wrote and fired it off very
quickly :)
What I meant is... To my way of thinking, many users (esp. relatively
computer illiterate) would take "To update all parameters, press the Shift
key and click the button." to mean "press SHIFT, then click", whereas they
need to keep pressing while clicking.

Or maybe the shorter version:
"To update all parameters, press the Shift key and click the button."
Naomi says: I'd take that to mean 'press SHIFT, then click'. If that was
what the sentence meant, then that would be how you would write it. But
that's not what the sentence means, so it's OK as is, by me anyway :-)
