           Summary: some examples have typo
           Product: kturtle
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde showroommama nl
        ReportedBy: grossk charter net


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

The two examples in the help section "Create your own commands" have syntax errors.  \
They're easy enough to track down but confusing to a 10 year trying to learn.  Below \
are the corrected versions.  The first was missing the parens in the calls to the \
circle method.  The second was returning a incorrect result because a string was \
passed instead of a number. An extra multily by 1 forced the conversion to a number.

======================
learn circle (x) [
  repeat 36 [
    forward x
    turnleft 10
  ]
]

go 30,30
circle(20)

go 40,40
circle(50)

====================
reset

learn multiplyBySelf (n) [
  r = n * 1
  r = r * n 
  return r
]
i = inputwindow "Please enter a number and press OK"
print i + " multiplied by itself is: " + multiplyBySelf (i)
