Working with MSW Logo - Creating Primitives

Simplifying Working with MSW logo

You can provide easier commands for younger students by defining a procedure incorporating the dll 'calls' and then saving the procedure as a file in the Logolib directory. The filename should be  the same name as the procedure, without a filename extension. The procedure will load automatically when MSW Logo loads.

eg

to MotorAOn
   dllcall [v MotorAOn v 0]
end

Save this as "MotorAOn" (the capitals will disappear in the filename) as a Text file in the directory "Logolib" (Typically -  C:\Program Files\Softronics\Microsoft Windows Logo\Logolib).

Remember, don't add a filename extension. If you do add ".lgo", it won't work!

Students will then only need to write "MotorAOn" to turn on the motor. They will not need to use the full "dllcall..." command.

Repeat the technique for all the dll calls, or just download them here.
