Repeat? Consequence of an action in an application

[Rob Hudson <caveatrob -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I'm teaching my students to write instructions. For each step, I ask for 
an action and a consequence. For example, if you are at a login screen 
and you type your username and password, and press "Save," a "home" 
screen might appear showing a user's profile.

I'm having trouble explaining a nice way to indicate that consequence or 
effect. Some options;

* The "home" screen appears, showing your profile (last name, address, etc).
* The application shows the "home" screen, which contains your profile.

What's the cleanest, clearest way to express an effect in terms of an 
application? I'm having trouble demonstrating a consistent, clear phrasing.
