This exercise, which utilizes XMetal, was developed by Susan
Schreibman and given many times. The Powerpoint slides were delivered
in the morning, and the afternoon consisted of a three-part
exercise. If you wish to complete the exercise, you will need the WB
Yeats [poem](poem1.txt) that forms the basis of the
exercise, and the [note](note.txt) that goes with
it. You may download all the documents onto your hard drive as a [zip archive](MITHpdf.zip).
