The way to write the command with just height = 75 and color = red is: makeit barn;SIZEOF=75, , , red The parameters we left out were optional. But the commas that preceded them were not.

If you leave them out, LEAVE IN their commas to "hold their position" in the ;SIZEOF family. Back to Main Index
