I liked the other suggestion on user prioritization of list

items. After

all the goal of programming is to make life easier for the end user,

not the

programmer; within reason of course.

The big problem with all devices that have a limited user interface, (I.E.
few keys
or
switches and a very small number of display pixels) is; they are very tough to
program. For example; programming VCR's, setting the clock in your car,
high end microwave ovens, dryers and washers with too many options, last
but not
least
all GPS's and Loran's. Coming up with an easy and simple to learn and remember
programing user interface is next to impossible. If you have a better scheme
I would like to hear about it. People wind up just not doing it.

Paul,

  While I agree that a lot of the examples you gave above are descriptive
of problems with those specific devices, I dont think that applies to the
EFI display. My plan would be to pick and choose from the various
parameters available for display and set the machine up to display the ones
I wish to monitor while on the ground. After setup I would probably never
change it in flight.

Yes but how? I need specific information or ideas on switches or keys needed and 
programing  procedures.
