LOGO-L> oneliners and home in mswlogo

[Erich Neuwirth <neuwirth@smc.univie.ac.at>]

when i tried to play with the following one-liners
thinngs did not seem to work.

;fireworks
for [i 0 220 0.0001*sin :i][fd :i home rt 10 ]

;peltonwheel
for [i 0 220 sin :i/1000][fd :i home rt 51 ]

;spirals
for [i 0 220 sin :i/1000][fd :i home rt 41 ]


looging into the details i found that in mswlogo
home
does not do what its descrition in the help file says

it should be the same as
setpos [0 0]
so it should NOT change the turtle heading.
but it does.

therefore, these oneliners will not behave as intended in mswlogo.

i am sending this just a warning in case some other people
on the list also are surprised.
