LOGO-L> Re: Prefix/suffix

[KERRB@Magill.UniSA.edu.au]

Fred,

In MW 2.0 I would do this:-

1) Create 4 textboxes, called text1, text2, text3,text 4.
2) Put your prefixes in text1, roots in text2, suffixes in text 3.
3) Write this procedure on flip:-
to new_word
op (word textpick "text1 textpick "text2 textpick "text3)
end
4) IN the command centre type:-
text4, pr new_word

If you want to do something more elaborate, then write another procedure that 
will produce a sentence in the text4 textbox, such as:

to weird_sentence
text4,
pr (se [I had a] new_word [day, today])
end

Thanks to those that responded to my query about writing a program that
combines lists of  prefix / root / suffix into one word but none of it
has worked using MicroWorlds 2.0 and the Mac.  I can use the op pick
command to select random lists and can combine them into a "New Word", I
don't know how to use that new word.  I get the prompt that "I don't
know what to do with (pretransport) ""as an example""  How do I use this
word as a textbox and how can I let the children define it after the
computer selects it?
