Abstract
A system enables a user to select one of a plurality of user selectable options in a processor-based system. In one embodiment of the present invention, the selections may be made using a wireless remote control unit. Each of a plurality of graphical user interfaces may be selectively, sequentially indicated or highlighted for a period of time sufficient to enable the user to input an indication that the user wishes to select the indicated graphical user interface. When the user makes an input during the period when a particular option is highlighted, that option is automatically selected.
