Hi Walt,
Why code at all?  MicroWorlds has a paint tools window that does exactly what 
you want. I am a great believer in using the tools that are available.

There are countless other projects where coding is more appropriate (and fun).

Logoers,
Getting the mouse to click in my program works now. Thanks to all that
helped...it was finally John Wolff's suggestion made sense to me. It would be
nice to have a "mouseclick?" command but without it I can still get the
program to know when I click the mouse.

I am working with a Kindergarten teacher and trying to make a MicroWorlds
program for her to use with their students. She wanted them to practice
primary colors.  Basically a coloring book. They were to click on the color
they wanted to use and then click in the  area they want to fill.

It works like this so far...I am using MicroWorlds 2.0 for Win95.
Using the paint program make three filled in circles at the bottom or side of
the screen, one each red, blue, and yellow. Then create areas on the screen
to be filled in. You could import a line art picture or just draw straight
lines using the line tool.
Write the two programs:

to follow
forever [setpos mousepos]
end

to fillin
if colorunder = bg [fill]
if not colorunder = bg [setc colorunder]
end

Right click on the mouse and give him the instruction "fillin".
In the command center write "follow".
Click away...

One problem is that the program does not work if the mouse is hidden...
Now to put some magic into the program filling yellow on red should give them
orange.
