   1.  If the files UDC1, UDC2, UDC3, and UDC4 were cataloged UDC files
       in a UDC directory, how would you delete UDC2, without affecting

       a.  And how would you add the UDC file UDC5 to the UDC directory
           without affecting the other cataloged files?

   3.  Study the following UDC file.  Indicate how you would change this
       file so that the UDC SM will call upon and execute the UDC LF. Do
       not change the order in which they now appear.

            LF
            Listf
            *****
            SC
            Showcatalog
            *****
            SM
            Showme
            *****

   4.  Create a single UDC called SHOW that does the following in the
       order given:

       a.  Executes the SHOWME command without listing the SHOWME command
           to the screen.

       b.  Executes the LISTF command without listing the LISTF command
           to the screen.

       c.  Lists to the screen and executes the SHOWCATALOG command.

       d.  Executes another UDC called ST that is located before this one
           in the directory.

   5.  a.  Create a command file called S that will execute SHOWME and
           SHOWTIME.

           How would you execute this command file at the MPE prompt?

       b.  Given your command file S, create another command file, called
           SHOW, that executes the SHOWME, SHOWTIME, and LISTF commands,
           without putting the SHOWME and SHOWTIME commands in the file.

           How would you execute this command file at the MPE prompt?

   6.  In each of the following cases, which of the two will execute when
       entered at the MPE prompt?

            a. The MPE command CALC    or     A user UDC named CALC

            b. A program named CALC       or    The MPE CALC command

            c. A PUB.SYS command file     or     Your own command file
               named DOIT                              named DOIT

   7.  If you have a command file and a UDC that are both named DOIT,
       which of the following command strings will execute the command
       file?

            ____ a. DOIT

            ____ b. DOIT.GROUPNAME.ACCOUNTNAME

            ____ c. XEQ DOIT

            ____ d. RUN DOIT
