Dear Dale R Reed and Ray Catzel, and anyone else confused by my use of the term microworld (with a small "m")! A microworld is an environment in which learners explore a concept. I first encountered the term in a paper called "Teaching With Logo Microworlds" by Bruce McMillan in Computers in New Zealand Schools 2 (2) (July, 1989): 49 - 54. Papert also uses the term in Mindstorms, but to name a self-restricted area of Logo a child works within for security. I'm sorry, but as was the original Seirpinski Carpet, so is my program written for PC Logo 2. You're on your own in adapting it to Microworlds (with a capital "M")! All the best.
