ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for coaxing a novice operator into dialogue with a touch screen display and for directing the operator to program the machine including a soft display actuator displayed on the first frame of the touch screen display of the user interface, a pointer displayed adjacent to the acutator, the pointer simulating a human action with respect to the actuator, the human action suggesting to the operator the manual engagement of the actuator, and a control responsive to the manual engagement of the actuator to provide a subsequent frame on the touch screen display of the user interface, the subsequent frames providing progressively more complex operator options.
