Hi,

Sorry to say but these don't satisfy my issues.

1 the next code SHOULD produce an error message. Think that it's followed
by a few dozens of code lines:
from turtle import *
fd; rt(90)
2 Old Logo had a useful function of creating a circle AROUND THE TURTLE. It
would be very nice it such a function was built-in in Python's turtle
module.
Giving this to student as a problem is not a good answer, it's more like a
sort of "pass the baby" solution.

Thank you for the fast reply.
