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 am not sure about this project, I will have to study it a bit more. I have MWXP on this machine. I opened it and I would really like to have JUST the grid the compas the little red turtle and setheading box. I know it the seth shows at the bottom of the screen, but I think this would be a really neat program to demo seth. I can't figure out how to remove everything else and just have what I want as the project.
Thanks for any help.
Jean
