George, I respect what you have been doing, and have been delighted with MSWLOGO so far, but I beg you to reconsider. One of the chief benefits of Logo, in my experience, is that the use of it somehow improves and directs programming "style", regardless of the prior experience with other languages. I have not analysed this in detail, but I firmly believe that the programming "contructs" (and syntax) of Logo have a lot to do with it, including the absence of GOTO.
