LogoWriter is a dialect of Logo sold by Logo Computer Systems, Inc.
It has a small word processor built in, so that text can easily be
combined with turtle-graphics pictures.

The LogoWriter user interface is pretty different from most other
dialects of Logo.  Instead of workspace files, programs are
organized as "pages" that include both procedure definitions and
a graphics window.

The actual programming language, though, is pretty similar -- although
LCSI did leave out some of the more advanced programming capabilities
for no very good reason.  So you can't use CATCH and THROW, or LOCAL,
or DEFINE and TEXT (although these last two can be simulated).

There's not much more to say unless you really want the gory details.
Most Logo programs that are intended for young (elementary school) kids
will probably look the same in LogoWriter as in other dialects.
