By reputation Coco has an excellent Logo implementation, D.L. Logo. There
was a recent post on the maltedmedia list stating that there is information
in the manual which would permit D.L. Logo to interface with Coco 3 graphics
codes under Level II. There is also cartridge based Color Logo which less
interesting.

I didn't know it when they let us play with Logo in elementary school, but I
read that Logo's origins are in Lisp.
