This dialog appears only at start-up. The user can select Auto or Menu mode with the default start-up setting being Auto. It is expected that users would usually select Auto mode of operation.
In Auto mode the user cannot access the menu or toolbar. Operation proceeds via a series of dialogs according to a preset sequence. No back-tracking is possible until the last item in the sequence is reached. At start-up the auto-sequence is as follows:
1. Unravel Options
2. Cube Size
3. Initial Cube State
4. Command Sequence Input
5. Select Exit Option
If the user exits the Select Exit dialog and selects "Begin" in item 5, then the sequence will revert to 2-1-3-4-5 (i.e. "Cube Size" will precede "Unravel Options"). Scroll and marking options, settable in the Unravel Options dialog, can affect cube size limit and/or cube display for the Cube Size dialog.
Some simple message dialogs, not included in the above list, also appear. Macros are automatically loaded in Auto mode.
In Menu mode the user can back-track and select any item in the menu or toolbar that is enabled. Users must request that macros be loaded if they require them. The Change Application Colours menu item, Change Program Settings menu item, and About help are available to the user only when Menu mode is selected.
