This Frequently Asked Questions List was developed based on questions
asked in various groups or via E-Mail, supplemented by my own
experience with Logo for two children at home.

At this point, most comments should be focused on identifying
important questions that aren't covered, organization of the
questions, and identification of writing contributors to the FAQ.  I
have a draft set of answers, which I will post later.

I also have perl script to transform the FAQ list to a TeX file for
those desiring it.
