A few suggestions for the revised version:

ADDITIONAL/MODIFIED  PRIMITIVES:

 PENREVERSE
 REPCOUNT
 FOR instead of/as well as DOTIMES though if the latter is kept,
     change the initial variable value to 1 instead of 0
     - in line with REPEAT 
     
 BURY, UNBURY particularly important
 
 VECTOR ARITHMETIC and  MAP
    would be faster as primitives but are straightforward
    to write and then could be buried!


 FILL to flood to a specific boundary colour if necessary, otherwise fill
 while on the same colour, as with MSWLogo. Gives greater scope for
 designs.

TEXTBOX allow value to change even when transparent
   as in FOREVER[SETtext1 .1 * slider1] 

Ability to change the projectsize within an existing project

Include RGB colours, allows greater control.

Ability to search for a particular word/phrase in the HELP as in most
Windows FIND options.
