Hi Traci,
Take this with a grain of salt...
The last answer I gave to a question was so far out in left field that I
could hear crickets!
I remember those procedures.
Do you need the procedures themselves or just a way of having them
available in MW?
I'm thinking you could have them saved in a text file and then import
them into your project with importtext when needed.

I am hoping there is someone out there familiar with LogoWriter and
MicroWorlds who might be able to answer this question.
In Logowriter there was a page you could execute at startup called
turttools. That page contained four commands: arcr, arcl, circler, and
circlel. These commands used pi to calculate the size of circle and arc
to draw based on the input you used with the command. So far I have not
been able to find any commands like that so my students have been
drawing circles using repeat statements. What different ways can you
draw circles in MicroWorlds?
