Mark,
I used Revolution a couple of years ago to teach middle school kids
interested in programming. Then I discovered NetLogo, an agent-based
modelling system that traces its roots back to the original Logo. It is
perfect for beginners, and has the advantage of immediate feedback and
incremental development, just like HyperCard and Rev. It's free and
being actively developed by the Center for Connected Learning at
Northwestern University,

I think Rev might benefit from the addition of TG-type controls, but it
seems like a long shot to me. I have built a tool in Rev to work with
NetLogo files if anyone does take an interest. (It needs to be updated
-- I can't keep up with them!)

Run Rev has expressed an interest in implementing TG in Revolution.
Be nice to have a new control, a turtle control (multiple turtles
like multiple graphic objects) that responds to the TG vocabulary.
This would be very nice. I could have used this when I was a teacher.
I'll be using it with my son soon.
