[MWForum]GraphicsBasics6 /// OPPPS!

[Zehava Wizman]

Hi jeff
I think also, its better (especially for my needs - students with 
disabilities learning ) to display each commands in seperate page,as you 
said "maybe a page that has just the Turning and Moving commands as a group; 
and one for the Drawing with Coordinates as a group; and finally, all of 
them together, like it is now".
                                                      thanks, Zehava
