Hi Jim
The time does look wrong doesn't it. It looks OK here but I'll investigate
further.

I understand your reservations on your approach. It all goes to
teaching/learning philosophy and its the differences between us all that
keeps the pot boiling and the interest high.

I haven't been able to figure out the 'rc' problem and will refer it to
George but I however a better solution. I've discovered that MSWLogo has a
READWORD (RW) command which previous Logos I've worked with didn't. It's
perfect for reading numbers in because it allows multiple digit and decimal
numbers without the need to use the FIRST command and IT WORKS.

So here is your solution:

to GetFirstNumber
   ; A sample routine to demonstrate "readword"
   make "Number1 readword
   make "Number2 readword
   make "Answer :Number1 * :Number2
   home
   cs
   ht
   label :Answer
end

 ....and I suppose that means a more extensive rewrite of that page too.
