Rodger Dodge just to keep it simple and expedient and to avoid any delay for the expected immediate turn, you could have and should have instructed: "Turn left/right, Heading 060 and then proceed direct to DINGO." This would have allowed the crew, if necessary, time to enter or select the waypoint. Keep in mind that crews not familiar with the area, or foreign crews who come into your airspace with a vocabulary of 200 English words, may not immediately get the correct spelling of the Waypoint and may have to search for it on the chart.
