# Trick or Treat

Its Halloween night and you find yourself without an edible treat in the house. Computer owners, you can trick the kids with a treat sweeter to children than any candy. Turn to your computer, type in our Trick or Treat program, move the computer into your foyer, and you and your computer will be ready when the goblins and witches come to call. (Be sure to set your computer for all uppercase letters before running the program.)
