Too bad you put this comment SO far down in your "review" :-).

And your right on the mark, it's the windows user interface that I hope
will attract and hold onto them, longer than the TTY style.
MswLogo should (and hopefully will) be able to allow the Logo programmer
to write windows applications (dialog boxes, buttons, etc.).
It probably will be limited because I don't plan to write a resource
compiler, but the student can at least learn a windows programming model.

For begginers there is not that much difference between 3.X and 2.4
MswLogo. There are things already in 3.X that are even better than 2.4 for
the beginner. Like a post script document, more consistent command names,
etc. The reason I tell folks to wait for a newer version is that it's
not Kid-proof. You can make it hang or crash windows by doing odd things
(which kids do). Also docs are a little hard to understand for new
programmers. Other than that it's just a tad more complex and a lot richer. 

Once Msw Logo 3.X is cleaned up the simplicity of 2.4
should not be an issue. If it is, it will get fixed, one way or another.
