DRAPE ( programming language for kids ? )

[*ProteanThread*]

Drape was written to teach children some basic aspects of programming. It
has some resemblance to Logo but Drape is completely visually oriented.
Children don't need to be able to read. Like in Logo, programs in Drape
create a drawing. A program in Drape consists of a number of commands. There
are commands that draw lines and shapes, commands that move to a particular
position, commands that set properties, like color, line width and size, and
control commands, e.g. to repeat commands, to call procedures, and to test
for mouse buttons. Each command is represented by a little picture. A
program is a sequence of these pictures. You create a program by dragging
the pictures to the appropriate place in the sequence. For example, the
following sequence draws a square.
