Hi

My year 5 class is currently doing a project about the body using
MicroWorlds. One group has hatched two turtles and placed them as the
lungs. They want to program the turtles to look as if they are
expanding when we breathe in, and collapsing when we breathe out.
They can get one lung to go without any problems.

To expand
repeat 20 [setsh 30 wait 5 setsh 31 wait 5]
end

They actually want both lungs to move at the same time but we can't
get it to happen. We have tried ASK, EVERYONE, and TALKTO. The
question is can it be done. We know that in LogoWriter in can because
one uses the command TELL like

tell [ 1 2]
repeat 20 [setsh 30 wait 5 setsh 31 wait 5]

But we don't have tell in MicroWorlds. Please help.
