Procedure library.

Dear all,

Suppose you are writing a few short programs that use, among others,
an identical set of procedures.
Is it possible with Logo to store these procedures in a library and
import them whenever necessary without retyping or cut and paste them?

Many thanks,

Gian

Yes. But the exact details depend on what version of Logo you're using.
In many versions, you can enter the procedures, then use the SAVE command
with a filename as input to save them:
SAVE "MYFILE.LG
Then you can get them back in your projects with the LOAD command:
LOAD "MYFILE.LG

It would save you time if you created a file that loads all of the
programs you have made, and then just load that file when needed.

In FMSLogo, you can save a file with a name such as procedure.lgo.
When FMSLogo does not have procedure defined, it will look in the
current directory for a lgo file which has that procedure's name.
