Research Logo Users Manual v1.2 for the Microbee - ChickenMan - 26-06-2024
Thanks to jeremybh1 for providing a scan of this manual. It was scanned at 600dpi, is A5 in size and 128 pages long. Pages extracted, cleaned up and converted to a searchable PDF as usual.
The manual was written by Andy Bulka for Logo Research Syndicate, Essendon, Victoria and released February 1987.
What is Logo, from the manual -
LOGO was originally developed as a computer language for children. It provides,
in a concrete way, a learning environment for children to explore a wide range
concepts and, at the same time, discover how a computer works. It has been
expanded to also be suitable as a programming language to be used for teaching
older students and adults the concepts of computer programming.
First time users may care to go through the tutorial (which introduces
Logo through the use of Turtle Graphics) and then try the examples of list
processing contained in the other part of the manual. There are also some
examples of what Logo can do contained on the disk. These should be loaded
and tried and then looked at and experimented with.
Since Research Logo for the Microbee is very much like the implementations of
Logo used on the Apple and Commodore Computers, users may like to try examples
contained in books written for these other machines.
We already have the Research Logo version 1.2 disk in the Repository, so use this manual to get the full benefit of its use. This version was sold via Goodison Software and a scan of the 5.25" disk label was also provided.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Documentation/Manuals/Education folder we placed
research_logo_users_manual_v1.2.pdf
