Hi Jeanne,
Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious why you'd want to demo only seth, =
and not the companion turning commands, lt and rt? Or the associated =
moving commands, fd and bk? Do you mean you'd like a separate page for =
each of those? That might be a really good idea, especially for very =
young students. It would be pretty easy to make it like that.
Did you notice the program is organized to help distinguish those =
turning and moving commands from the coordinate commands, setx, sety and =
setpos? These are two different "mindsets" for moving around on a =
graphics field: the former an "on-the-floor" turtle's-eye, horizontal =
view of the action; the latter an "on-the-ceiling" or vertical =
point-of-view. You may also notice, the program demonstrates how these =
two approaches can be freely mixed in the same drawing. It seems to me =
those are all important insights for students at some level.
Since you didn't mention anything about the setheading textbox =
misbehaving, may I assume it is working properly for you? Wendy =
suggested I send this to the forum expressly to find out if others =
experience the same problem she is having with it. I'm surprised no one =
has offered us any information about that.

I se that I had to unfreeze things to remove them. I have just the =
program I want now. Have No idea how it works but it does what I want =
it to. :)
Thanks!
