LOGO-L> Re: Keyboard input into MSW Logo

["George Mills" <mills@softronix.com>]

I have tried to move Logo away from "Teletype Terminal" I/O
used on mainframes of 70's and 80's to what is native to
"Windows" programming.

See in online help KEYBOARDON, MOUSEON and BUTTONCREATE
for various means of generating user input events.

You could draw what looks like a real traffic light button
and watch for when the MOUSE is clicked on that picture
of a button.

To Goerge Mills,  Softronix

I much appreciated your technical information for running MSW Logo on a school network - it worked a treat!

I am in the process of converting a set of routines for children to control traffic lights which has been very successful with RM
Logo.  All is OK except that I cannot see an easy way of obtaining Keyboard input.  In the past I have just used the space bar to
simulate someone wanting to press a button to indicate that they want to cross the road.  I could use any event such as a mouse
button click.  I am not sure from the help screens how to go about this.  I am used to versions of Logo which have a something
similar to a BASIC Input command.  Can you offer me any advice please?


Thanks for your help,


Tony Hayes
