She also walks you through the process of editing files, submitting code, printing, adjusting the windowing environment (colors, fonts, and so on), editing startup files (CONFIG.SAS and AUTOEXEC.SAS), using batch mode, using DDE and OLE, and using SAS/CONNECT software, plus a whole lot more. This book is packed with screen captures, step-by-step instructions, and clear explanations to help you find and accomplish each task--the perfect companion for every SAS programmer starting out in the Windows environment!
