Before you Begin

In order to complete this exercise, the demonstration Personnel System must have been installed in this partition.

The purpose of this Exercise is to create your first WAM and become familiar with the Design view. You will also be given an introduction to Weblets and re-entrant programming.

In this exercise, you will create a WebRoutine that will use different weblets to call itself. It will display a different message depending on which weblet was used.
