Hey, I love LOGO!

Realy who doesn't? Many of us started programming in logo so it will always hold a special place for us. However I don't think this module does enough to be that logo we miss. I mean you need to supply a full set of programming options so that kids can use it and learn. Learning that I could use repeat to make a circle beat doing it by hand, and then latter learn to use 'to circle :radius' things just got better and better. I think you've made an awesome start, and the client/server idea is genius!, but I think before you go to far with it you should consider what changes to the parser need made in order to accomplish a fuller implementation of LOGO.

/me can remember himself with a notebook full of procedures/functions to try next time he got access to the logo computer! ;)

I was trying to add repeat when I noticed you were splitting up the commands before sending them to the server, i was wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to have all commands just sent to the server raw and have the client be just a very thin client. Off I go to see how to split on ; only outside of ....hmmm
