Programming Without Coding Technology (PWCT) - The Macro Operator
0 likes243 views
This document provides steps for using the macro operator to generate a steps tree in a goal designer. It describes selecting components using mouse or keyboard shortcuts to add three steps: 1) assigning a variable, 2) printing text to the console, and 3) waiting 3 seconds. The final section shows the steps tree and application running with the macro variable evaluated and output.
