I answered this by mail, but since others are interested, I'll put the
information here also, and add to it.

First, there's a PA Logo on Fish Disk #70. It's shareware that I
(great shareware hater that I am) approve of. It was hacked together
to be fast, and so doesn't handle either morerowed or interlaced
screens. No sources. It can also be found on FAUG Hot Mix #41.

This is a stripped down Logo, looking like the Apple graphics stuff. I
don't know what the Apple Alogo looked like, but I miss the CoCo
multi-tasking turtles, and functional parameters from real Logo.  All
right, but not great, for doing graphics hacks on a stock screen.  Not
very much good for anything else. More accurately, if you want to do
something else, you might check out the Little Smalltalk on Fish Disk
#37 first.

For those with long memories, TLC was advertising an Amiga Logo at
launch. For those who know the LISP world, TLC is John Allen. I've got
a (fzzzzz) beta copy of that. Nice; lots of magic; no documentation;
slightly buggy. Call TLC and ask them what happened to it. Or maybe
CATS knows the answer.

Me, I think throwing away the syntax and keeping the Lists is like
throwing away the baby and keeping the bathwater. I'm *still* looking
for a good LISP with graphics support.
