What the gentleman I was talking with wanted was the term "handicapped" on the page, where he and his friends could find it. One way to do that, and still be politically correct, is to have the politically correct term be the main listing, and either have the related terms in parentheses along side the proper term, or have separate listings with See Persons With Disabilities linking to the proper term. People can use the page's Find command or a search engine to locate the information that way. Of course, "handicapped" isn't the only term where this sort of thing applies. The key thing is to make sure that the people who need the information can find the information and access it when they do. Terry Terry Brainerd Chadwick, InfoQuest!
