Not in Apple materials or other Mac support pages. Possibly in email situations, but corrections are often made there as I did, because in Apple materials or other Mac support pages it's referred to as the command key. Which shows that whatever you want to call it, that it's a good thing to know the proper terminology if you want to be able to search for and follow solutions. Googling "Flower key" only show this reference at Apple.com <http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.3/IOUSBFamily-208.4.5/ AppleUSBKeyboard/Classes/AppleUSBKeyboard.cpp> which shows at least one programmer uses the term in his/hers variablenames. Googling "command key" however gives 493 references at Apple.com <http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&ie=UTF- 8&as_qdr=all&q=+%22command+key%22+site%3Aapple.com&btnG=Search> We can also note that Apple in their Human Interface Guidelines from 1996 refers to the clover symbol as a propeller symbol: "The Command key is labeled with a propeller (x) symbol and, on some keyboards, an Apple symbol (K) as well." <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/mac/HIGuidelines/HIGuidelines- 210.html> -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
