TRS-80 Color LOGO

[Computer Collector]

I just bought a copy of Color Logo from Vintage Fun world, but I have no clue how to use it. Do any of you guys know where I can find the manual to this software online for free? I cant find it. Or, if you cant, can you give me some tips on what commands it accepts?

thanks

The CoCo LOGO that I used to have ran under the OS/9 operating system. I don't know if that's the same version you have or not (Disk-based "DL LOGO").

Actuall,y I just did a little more searching and found that this webite sells a couple of great books on the subject here: http://www.fetchbook.info/Trs_80_Color_Logo_Manual.html

In fact, you might want to check it out, apparently they sell all sorts of great books teaching basic and logo on the Commorodre, Apple, TI, and TRS-80.
Im going to order a book or 2

nevermind. those books arent even available now that I look at it more closely. So go ahead and give me any advise or tips you have. What are a few of the commands you type in on your disk vrsion? Apparently my cartridge version is rare

LOGO uses commands like:

Forward <number>
Back <number>
Left
Right
Pen Up
Pen Down
Etc.

It is also an extensible language that allows you to create new commands (like macros), and save them to disk. I don't know about the cart version, but I'm guessing that it saves your new commands to tape. The command to create is (IIRC):

To <filename>
<Enter a series of commands here, one per line>

After the program is made, it is executed like:

Do <filename>

That should give you enough to get started with.
