because help strings should not be written in an imperative mood, i.e.
'Convert...', which is a demanding statement or a statement that tells
someone what
to do.
===============================================
In my experience with software, I believe it's almost universal for these
items to be
written in what you call the imperative mood. How about thinking of it this
way: By
selecting a menu item the USER is commanding ULIPAD to carry out the
command --
rather than the menu item commanding the user to do something.
