OK, I've done that but it didn't help; it wasn't tied in with Turtle
graphics, with which I'm familiar.  BTW, in case my post didn't make it
clear, I gave examples of BASIC; I'm not suggesting the Python module
accepted scripts in that format, just that it provided the
functionality.

Thanks anyway,


Ralph.
