The point-and-shoot interface of OLIST

OLISTs support the extended point-and-shoot interface: action bars, hotbar, and action fields. The following panel illustrates a typical OLIST, with cursor-sensitive input fields bolded. The list of fields under the screen describes what happens when each field is clicked.
