I see. That is, I missed the first step. My reasoning was this: I thought
depressed only means 'press down'. For a button, which looks depressed if
you press it, this works out as 'depressed == pressed'. For a radiobutton,
there is no 'press down'; rather, it's selected or not. So, depressed had
to mean something else: depressed -> de-pressed -> de-selected.
Anyway, I'm not yet sure about 'depressed == pressed'; I'll leave that to
the native speakers. But thanks for the clarification!
