Hi DL,

You can customise the UCBLogo interpreter behavior (path, color, font etc.)=
 by creating startup.lg file in the User Documents folder and put:

setprefix "c://logo    ;or whatever folder name you want instead "logo"
=20
into the file, using your favorite text editor.
=20
Alternatively, you can create the startup.lg file form UCBLogo prompt direc=
tly by typing:

? editfile "startup.lg

and using built-it editor to add the line. After that use Alt-A to close an=
d accept changes in the editor.

Since you do that, the prefix will be used as the implicit beginning of fil=
enames in LOAD, SAVE, OPENREAD, OPENWRITE, OPENAPPEND and OPENUPDATE comman=
ds.
Please note, that the EDITFILE command continues to use the User Documents =
folder by default and you should still provide full path to the command as =
an argument.
It works fine on Windows 7, but it should work on Windows 8, 10 too.
For additional customisation options, please read the Berkeley Logo User Ma=
nual.

UCBLogo is a wonderful environment for education purposes. Please consider =
to use the amazing Computer Science Logo Style trilogy by Dr. Brian Harvey =
in accompany with the interpreter.
If you need more multimedia than UCBLogo can provide, try David Constanzo's=
 FMSWLogo, an updated version of MSWLogo, a Windows-only version with multi=
media and other enhancements. =20

Good luck with your work!

Alexey.
