I am getting back to using TClogo again after a break of 3 years, due to lack
of opportunity:

TClogo seems to incorporate parallel processing as illustrated below, for a car
with a touch sensor at front:

to move
tto "a
on
lto 7
waituntil [sensor?]
off
end

The car moves until touch sensor is pressed then stops.
I'm looking for an explanation of why the procedure is read by the Logo
interpreter past the line that says "on". Why doesn't it just keep on keeping
on forever and never get to the next 3 lines? Is this parallel processing?
