ABSTRACT:
An automated apparatus is programmed to perform a process by arranging a sequence of first icons on a display in the order of the process, wherein the first icons represent functions of the apparatus, and wherein at least one of the first icons provides a visual representation of a function of the apparatus. Said at least one of the first icons can be expanded to show second icons that comprise the function of said at least one of the first icons, and at least one of the second icons provides a visual representation of a subfunction of the apparatus. In a preferred mode, when said at least one of the first icons is expanded, said at least one of the first icons maintains its same sequential relationship on the display to the other of the first icons in the sequence as before it was expanded.
