I am a Cuis Smalltalk beginner I'm on chapter 4 of the Cuis Book, but I've done a lot of Logo, so I wanted to play around with the turtle graphics package. Could someone write a simple program using the Turtle class and Pen subclass to draw a shape on the screen?
I am not clear how this all works in Cuis. Thank you.</div>
