Maybe not perfectly, but for sure more precisely than in the current
situation. Of course, the 2-digit numbers will be somewhat off.

I can't see any advantage of how MSWLogo uses LABEL. Why should the
turtle draw with its *tail* but write with its *right hand*? 

Incidently, I was amazed to learn that you didn't meet LCSI Logo for the
PC, I thought all the world did. It was, in 1983, a G-R-E-A-T Logo (even
mentioned a few times times on this list in the past). I still miss some
of its features, like STAMP, PRECISION, just to mention two of them.
