The 744, on pressing the Toga button once will pitch up, apply GA thrust and will maintain runway track if operating to PANSOPS, or maintain runway heading if operating to TERPS. The aircraft knows where you are and applies the correct heading reference. Then, you can heading intervene and select a heading or if you have the MAP loaded into the route as part of the arrival procedure, you can select LNAV.
