LOGO-L> Pop up dialog in MicroWorlds

["RAY CATZEL" <learn@computerpals.on.ca>]

I found the following routine to work well to create dialog boxes in MicroWorlds2:

 

to speak

if who = "t1 [newtext "text1 [0 0] [100 100] text1, pr [how are you] wait 20 remove "text1]

if who = "t2 [newtext "text1 [0 0] [100 100] text1, pr [I love you] wait 20 remove "text1]

end

Speak is the instruction loaded into each turtle. When clicked on each turtle responds with its unique message.

 

My question is: How can you dynamically change the position of the text box that is created. For example if I wanted the text box to be created at the position of the mouse, I thought the following would work:

set "text1 "pos mousepos

It does not work. Can anyone help.

Have Fun!
