LOGO-L> quirky problem

Well I hung in there for 90 minutes and finally solve the MWorld 2
problem... but i am not sure why it worked. It was only doing a little
something I used to do with Logo on the Apple II that fixed things. Here's
the situation:

Fourth graders are making a Guide to the El. School for new students.
Pairs make Projects entitled Health Center, Library Rules, Cafeteria, etc.
I link these projects from a main page with buttons programmed as follows:

To Cafeteria
getproject "cafe
end

Cafeteria is the button name and the project is called cafe.

there are 10 projects to link to the main page in this way.

Some of the button commands worked and others didn't. The syntax was
correct, I tried all sort of changes. FINALLY by moving the ones that
DIDN'T work to the top of the list of procedures they began to connect to
the projects.

I will fiddle around some this am to see if it still works but what I don't
get is why the order affected things. Seems as though Logo should be able
to scan down my list of procedures and find the right one.

Regards,

Peter
