For those of you interested in the issue of programming, especially using
Logo, in a multimedia environment, look at a couple of articles in the
Winter 1996 issue of Logo Update, the Logo Foundation Newsletter.  You may
link to it at
http://el.www.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/LU/v4n2.html

I wrote one of the articles, contrasting the HyperStudio approach with that
of MicroWorlds. The other article is by Mike Westerfield, the author of
HyperLogo. He discusses the rationale and features of HyperLogo in the
HyperStusio environment.
