Question About NTSB 9/11 FDR Study

Was hoping anyone familiar with 757 operation would be able to comment on the UA Flight 93 CVR recording and time corresponding FDR readout data.

At the 9:40 mark of the CVR transcript, one of the hijack pilots refers to a green knob within the 757 cockpit. There seem to be no green colored knobs within a 757 cokpit.

The only knob that may contain a green colored top is the 'baro' knob of the Kollsman window.

5 minutes before the "green knob" reference there is a 25,000 foot drop in altitude of UA 93.

Wanted to know if operation of the Kollsman window baro-knob would be required following this drop in altitude.

Any other comments regarding the either 9/11 FDR study?
