Then:
Register - Position
Register - Text
Register - Rectangle
Register - Frames/Windows
Register - Number
Register - File
If the nound comes first, for completion purposes etc., then some separator must
be used to eliminate interpretation of the same word ("register") as an
adjective.
However, elsewhere we generally do not bother much to put the noun first, to
facilitate completion etc. We use, for example:
Basic Parameters
Position Parameters
Size Parameters
Layout Parameters
...
not
Parameters - Basic
Parameters - Position
Parameters - Size
Parameters - Layout
