Either works, 'To' is better. 'Destination' might also work, but I would go with 'To' as it captures the entire meaning in a short word, and it is familiar for English speakers, as the postal service uses that, too. > > 2) More complex case: > > Changing attributes of files: 1, 2, 3, ... > |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| > Changing attributes of file 53 > > Q: Is the 'of' correct word here or should it be 'for' instead? 'of' is correct. 'for' could mean that you are changing attributes of other files so that file 53 can work. > > 2) Yet more complex case: > > Creating links to files: 1, 2, 3, 4, ... > To: /tmp > |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| > Creating link /tmp/423 > > Q: Is the 'to' correct word here or should it be 'onto' (or even 'for') > instead? I think this is correct. > Q: If 'to' is correct then probably 'To:' should be changed? Or not? How about 'In:'?
