LOGO-L> MSWLogo Questions

[George Mills <mills@softronix.com>]

Regarding your questions.

I sent you a dozen or so messages while your mail was down.
Some mesaages you may still get because my mail server will
try for 5 days. I have no time to go dig back.

Regarding LOGO32.EXE

It's not missing anything. I just want you to try before
I made a full kit.

The 6.0f kit is available on the web page.
The only difference is the spelling error you mentioned
in the status window.

Regarding SETCURSOR, TEXTCOLOR, PRINT

You can use SETXY, SETPC, and LABEL to do
"Cover Pages". You can mix graphics (borders etc.)
as well.

For the few functions that are not supported in MSWLogo
there are 300 or so to replace them with. There are
plenty of new areas to explore, learn and teach with.

Maybe ASK/TELL is possible. But I try to keep the command
set size down, because it's a lot to maintain. You've also
changed your strategy from my proposed code not being logo
code to you wanting it to be a primitive so you get online
help. I understand the want for the online help. Some online
help tools are public domain and I allow a user access to
the the "Windows Help Engine" so that a teacher could expand
it if they wished. Future versions of the Online help may
switch to HTML some day.

The best way to propose a new primitive is use it with your
code and postings and if I see others adopting it on regular
basis, then it's a good candidate. No promises though. Rather
than tell me what I must do. 

Regarding running from floppies.

You can maybe drop the mci*.hlp file.
