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!)
Thanks for the link, Jim. I was in the process of putting together a
list of features and functions for an introductory scripting language to
be implemented in Revolution, and NetLogo will definitely help clarify
my thinking.
