I'm not so much suggesting a "beginner" mode as I am suggesting that controls 
be scoped to the role of the logged in user. It just doesn't make sense to show 
controls that link to screens that the user does not have access to. A 
side-effect of this would be that an "order entry" user would have greatly 
simplified screens.
