Dear Patti,

Here are some hints for making a house.

1) Put a turtle on the screen

In the command center, type setpos [-200 -100] and then hit enter to
move the turtle to the bottom left of the screen (experiment with some
different numbers to see how setpos works)

Also in the command center try:

Pd (to put the pen down)
fd 100
rt 90
fd 200
rt 90
fd 100
rt 90
fd 200

Now you've got the base of the house -- try using the fd and rt commands
to draw the roof and the flag.  You might also want to use bk for back.
To erase a line, change the color to white with setc 0, then use bk to
back up over the line you drew.

Hope this gets you started!

Cheers,

Chris
