For the first simple programs,
  1. Ensure that the "Key Press" and "Mouse Click" options are OFF (unchecked) and
  2. That the "Show Button" option is checked "ON"
  3. Then Click on "OK."
This will place a visible "Continue" button into the Presentation Window when the program reaches this Wait Icon.
