BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET AN EASY RULE?
That's right: it's too good to be true. Actually, the rules are
perfectly good. But sometimes one set of rules overlaps another set of
rules. Then you need a way of sorting out which rules to use first.
MAKEIT athingof[;SIZEOF=[height[,width[,depth[,color]]]]]
Every parameter of MAKEIT except "athingof" is optional. There's no
problem if you decide to use all the parameters. Here every parameter
needs a comma (,) or semi-colon (;) ahead of it. To use them all in a
command, type it this way when you see the MPE XL colon (:) prompt:
:makeit barn;sizeof=75,5,120,red (lowercase works just fine)
** MAKEIT and SIZEOF= are in capitals, so we typed them letter-for-
letter. The colon (:) prompt was supplied by the computer.
** height, width and depth looked like good candidates for numbers
Color...well, that's obvious. But how did we know? Were the
choices good ones? HELP can tell you. You'll see how later.
