Hi,

I've been fooling arround with Starlogo on and off now for 6 months and 
I see huge potentials. I have to agree with Herb Schilling, because I 
have similar problems, where to I put things? what fits where?
I know the people at Star Logo are doing a fantastic work, and I also 
know they need more man hours to make their toy sing and dance. So let's 
be patient, or ask is there someting we can do to help.
