guided/interactive/scripted tutorials

[Ian Malone]

I'm looking for something and not quite sure what it's called.
In thinking about what the music SIG can do to add value I've hit on
wondering whether it's possible to write desktop-based guided
tutorials without having to interfere in the application in question
itself (otherwise you have to persuade every upstream to build it
separately in their codebase, even if it's in their interest to do so
that's a massive duplication of effort). You may have used this kind
of thing - it tells you 'click this next' and waits until you do.
As you might expect, googling for anything along these lines without
having a very precise set of keywords only returns pages of tutorials.
Any suggestions what to look for or, even better, tools in Fedora that
can already do this appreciated.

Eclipse calls these "cheat sheets":

Thanks, that's the kind of thing.
