Summary of commands in MSWLogo, In this article, let's learn the commands included in MSWLogo, making programming with this software faster.
MSWLogo is an interpreted programming language, based on the Logo computer language platform, with a graphical user interface (GUI). It is free and open source programming software, with source code available in Borland C++.
MSWLogo supports many turtle graphics, 3D computer graphics and allows input from COM and LPT ports. It also supports a windowing interface, so input/output (I/O) is available through this GUI and keyboard and mouse events can trigger interrupts.
