    From Thaddeus Slamp@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 18 08:09:04 2018
    What is the equivalent in logo (UCBLOGO, specifically) of a for next loop in basic (in basic, actually, for next loops can be used in at least 2 ways, to count and to slow a display down. I'm interested in the latter use. I have a turtle drawing that
    goes to fast for my purposes). Please and thank you.

    You could also replace, say, FORWARD 100 by REPEAT 100 [FORWARD 1]

    In Nimbus Logo you could redefine the primitive FORWARD like this

    TO FORWARD :DISTANCE
    REPEAT :DISTANCE [$FORWARD 1]

    $FORWARD is the system primitive FORWARD. The new definition of
    FORWARD becomes the default action.
