That could be remedied in one of two ways. Either point them to a talk page
tutorial or spell out how to respond in the welcome message itself.

Ok, you suggested a "please click here to reply" link, which would
presumably take them straight to an edit page, right? Whereas for the
rest of their time on Wikipedia, they're going to have to click on a
user's name, probably click "discussion" after that, and then click
"edit". So they're getting a shortcut that normally won't be there.
Asking whoever welcomed you for advice could get
some pretty far
depending
on who it was in the first place.
Heh, yeah. Hopefully you get what I mean now.
