For my GCSE computer studies project, approximately 13 years ago, I
wrote a Logo interpreter in BBC BASIC.  It never worked very well -
particularly because I had no idea how to make the loops work properly
- but the code was pretty good for BASIC and I'm still proud of it :-)

It was prompted by Logo being one of the languages available on the
Amstrad PCW, which at one point was the only computer I had available
at home...

Cheers
Richard
