| 1. A system for enabling user interaction with computer software, the system including a printer for:
receiving print data;
printing a form, using the print data, by printing:
information related to at least one interactive element associated with the delivery of a greeting card; and,
coded data at least partially indicative of the at least one interactive element, at least some of the coded data being coincident
with the information;
receiving indicating data from a sensing device, the sensing device when placed in an operative position relative to the information,
sensing at least some of the coded data and generating indicating data using the sensed coded data, the indicating data being
at least partially indicative of the at least one interactive element; and,
transferring the indicating data to a computer system to allow the indicating data to be interpreted.
