[MWForum]Syntax not working

[Lauren Pacini]

Thanks for pointing out the typo -- haste makes waste!
As for the "SHAPE 6" command, that seems to return the
message "I don't know what to do with turtle" so once
again I missed something along the line. I typed the
"To" becasue that was the syntax I used with MSW LOGO
and the syntax used in the Microworlds help file!
