"I got a box."
"A box? With words in it? What does it say?"
"It says, 'Enter your user name.'"
"Okay. Type your name in there."
"Oh. Okay." <typety typety typety> "Nothing happens."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm typing but nothing happens."
"Did you click in the box before you typed?"
"I have to click in the box? What box?"
"The box where it says to enter your name."
"Oh. Okay." <typety typety> "Nothing happens."
"Where did you click?"
"Where you said."
"Where exactly?"
"On one of the words, I think. Maybe it was 'name'."
"No, you click in the empty space with the rectangle around it. 
Underneath the instructions."
"Oh, I see what you mean. But when I do that, a little line starts 
blinking."
"Right, that shows where your typing will go."
"Oh. How do I get rid of the line so my typing will go in there?"
