If you are going to train people on SAS, they are going to have to have some
way to execute their solutions to the training problems.  Whatever that method
is, you should use the same to invoke the SAS tutorials that come with the
product (at least they do on my system).

After you start doing this, you might want to look into finding a better union
or maybe just a manager who doesn't believe in the tooth fairy.
