Re: How 2.4.5 Multiple Ways ought to apply to software

that example was added to say

"If the only way to get to some page is to go first through a CAPTCHA page -- then you do not have to have a second way to get to that page (besides the captcha page) because doing a CAPTCHA first is part of the process. "

Once you have initiated the print “process” the next, and sometimes final step in the process, is a modal dialog box with print options and a “Print” or “Cancel” button. This modal dialog box, which is an “interaction context” in M376-speak (and hence analogous to a Web page that is a step in a process).

It is the result of (a step in) a process” and should not therefore provide multiple ways of accessing parts of the main application (we are beginning to agree that an application represents one or more interaction contexts “within a set of interaction contexts” – equivalent to a “set of Web pages”).
