Use "enter" if a user must put something in a field in a window. Do not use type or type in for this. Type is typically reserved for command line instructions.

As far as I am concerned, type is archaic and no longer used when talking about online interactive lessons. Having said that, what do you think? and is there a valid stance I can take to make my point, or is this all personal preference.
