[MWForum]Help with Conditionals

[Jeff Knope]

Hi again Ms. Jackson,

I should have explained further that "stop" stops execution of a procedure.
It doesn't stop a turtle. How to stop a turtle depends somewhat on how you
set it in motion. If you started it with a "launch" or "forever" you can
stop it with "cancel."

Hope that helps more.
-Jeff
