Thanks for taking the time to answer. I just wonder why the turtle can change colors but no other shape can? It would be the easiest for what I want to do.
Make a space ship with blinking windows. Since the space ship is a shape the windows need to be small. Almost as small as the little dot in and empty shape. On the space ship I leave blanks where the windows go then put in square shapes there. I have used two different ones, but I wanted more colors and setc would be easire.
Thanks again,
Jean

Hi Jean,
One way is to create your images in different colors and assign each of them
to different shapes. Then use setsh (setshape) to make the change.
Another way is to use a hidden turtle to draw the polygons, then change the
turtle color with setc, and redraw them right over the old ones with the new
color.
Good luck, Jeff
