The use of SHAZAM wizards allows SHAZAM procedures to be executed in a menu driven way using a mouse.  Wizards also allow the quick construction or editing of SHAZAM commands.  To run a wizard click the 'Wizards' button on the main toolbar and the Wizard launcher will appear.

Selecting Generalized Least Squares regression and clicking the 'Next' button presents further procedures that may be run with this one.

Selecting the 'Go...' button launches the appropriate wizard.  From here you may select variables for use in estimation.  Variables in memory appear in the 'System' section in the 'Variables Available' treeview.

The next step is to select options for 'Generalised Least Squares Regression' 

Because 'Forecasting' was selected the forecasting page appears next in the wizard with additional options.  Options that cannot be used are greyed out.

The final step is to determine the task to perform

The 'Execute Immediately' option produces output instantly in a new output window.  

Using the 'Generate commands' option allows you to save and reexecute commands or incorporate them into a larger program.  Commands may then be edited by hand or edited using the wizard by clicking on the command line and then using the right mouse button to select 'Edit Command...' as shown below.
