Per §4.2.2 (Blooper 38: Misuse (or nonuse) of "..." on command labels), page
232 of Jeff Johnson's "GUI Bloopers: Don'ts and Do's for Software Developers
and Web Designers":
"Ellipsis is not for any command that opens a window ¶ The "..." should not
mark commands that simply open a new window. There are many commands for which
opening a new window *is* the function of the command; the resulting window is
not a temporary argument-gathering dialog box. For example, "Show Network"
might open a window to display the status of a computer network. Such a
command does not bring up a temporary argument-collecting dialog box, and so
should not include "..." at the end of its label."
Upon reading this paragraph I realized I had already made this mistake several
times in the development of VisiGraph. Therefore, a short amount of time
should be taken to fix the incorrect, misleading labels. Any affected daily
tips should also be changed to reflect the new labels.
