Subject: Elliptical orbits for planets

> Wow, it looks like an ellipse to me, are you sure it is an oval? Do you
understand know how it works? Could you
please explain it's rationale.

Daniel, it was bed time here in Seattle and I simply sent what I had in my
MSWLogo model folder.  Also I checked the TGLA book to make sure the
code(more or less) was there.  When I get a chance I will try to figure it
out.  The code probably originally came from the CD that comes with Muller's
mighty fine book.  I probably did not even type it in to the computer.

Notice this is MSWLogo code(I did run the programs and they drew ellipse
looking figures), and not Microworlds.  Sometimes makes a difference.
