  • Lab 2:
    • For this lab you will need to create a new option tree called TRAIN and add the macro you created in Lab 1 to that option tree.
      • If you have forgotten how to create an option tree, please refer back to the module on Option Trees.
      • You can just copy the file you created in Lab 1 to the mcr directory and then use UPDATE to add it to the command dictionary (you do not need to provide default values for the macro).
    • When you are done you should be able to do this: 
      nM> mcrlab1 FEET=5 INCHES=6 NAME="Lee"
INFO: Lee is 167cm tall [MCRLAB1]
