Hi Patrick,

I think not. In that sense MicroWorlds is less powerful than
LogoWriter. Other less visual logos do have a feature to do
this, FMSLogo and UCBLogo, for example.

but maybe you don't need it, because you can store definitions
in variables, whose names are the "singlets"

to startup
question [first part?]
make "p1 answer

question [last part?]
make "p2 answer

question [definition?]
make "def answer

make (word :p1 :p2) :def

question [full word?]
make "full answer

ifelse name? :full [
 announce thing :full
] [
 announce [hasn't been defined yet]
]
end
