A user interface, typically to an irrigation controller, prompts user responses by asking questions. The questions are hierarchally organized, preferably in a hierarchal tree having approximately three to six questions on each hierarchal level between root and leaves. All command and data input may be done with only an “OK”pushbutton switch, and with an additional “↑”, or “↓”pushbuttom switches. Each “OK”user response affirms the premise of a currently-displayed question, and advances the questioning to a related branch upon a next hierarchal level. The “↑”pushbutton is used to advance the questioning in a first direction. An optimal “↓”, or down arrow,pushbutton switch advances the presentation of successive questions in a second direction. An optional “HELP”switch invokes context-sensitive help messages.

An interface to a machine for use by a man comprising: a display for displaying a multiplicity of datums one at a time; a first manually actuable switch for causing the display to step-wise sequentially advance in its one-at-a-time displaying of the multiplicity of datums in a first direction; a second manually actuable switch for causing the machine to adopt and use a currently-displayed one of the multiplicity of datums; and a third manually actuable switch for causing the display to step-wise sequentially advance in its one-at-a-time displaying of the multiplicity of datums in a second direction.
