Time for action – providing user instructions
Based on our current scripts, it's possible for our slideshow to start with no Back or Next arrows on the screen because their display is determined by the location of the mouse cursor.

From the Looks palette, add a say for () secs block after the show block.
For the text value of the say block, type an instruction to the user (for example,
