Hi!
Could you program the circle with a variable (or 2) to make it easy to
make different sized circles? And how about the arc?
Would the spell checker from MSWord work with Pro or EX on Mac OS 10)?
Thanks

<font size=-1>here's
a handy way to include extra commands in your MicroWorlds vocabulary.</font> <font size=-1>For
example, if you wanted to add "circle" and "square" to the vocabulary ,
using a text editor write the following procedures:</font> to circle
<br>pd
<br>repeat 360 [fd 1 rt 1]end <font color="#000000">to square</font>
<br><font color="#000000">pd</font>
<br><font color="#000000">repeat 4 [fd 80 rt 90]</font><font color="#000000">end</font> Save
the document as<b> -tools-.txt</b> Place the file in your MicroWorlds
directory, boot (or reboot) MicroWorlds and you will have "built-in" commands
for circle and square.Be careful not to use any existing command names
for your procedures. Please note, OS X users won't be able to use
TextEdit because it creates .rtf documents, which will not work. I
also wanted to mention to Kate that the Windows version of both Pro and
EX support MicroSoft Word's spell checker. If you have Word on your
system,<font size=-1><font color="#000000"> click anywhere within the text
area and choose </font><b> Spell...</b><font color="#000000"> from
the Text menu. The spell checker always reads the text from the top down.
If some text is selected, the spell checking is done only on
the selected text.</font></font> <x-sigsep>
