[Usability] Describing actions

[Joachim Noreiko <jnoreiko yahoo com>]

Is there anything in the HIG about describing actions
in general rather than specific terms?

Eg, for label text, having 
"Run executable text files when they are opened" 
instead of 
"Run executable text files when they are
double-clicked"
-- because a user might open a file with the menu
command, or with the Return key, or Ctrl+O.

(BTW, the actual label says "Run executable text files
when they are clicked". I've filed a bug.)
